M'drake 9.2 hanging on shutdown
 

Hello,

My Drake 9.2 install is hanging at the very last part of it's shutdown. I've tried changing the [acpi=ht] setting to [acpi=off] in lilo.conf then running lilo -v, per instructions from another forum, with no luck. I've also tried shutting down from the command line with [shutdown -r now] and [shutdown -h now], also with no success.

Any suggestions? I appreciate any advice.

Thanks a lot.

In the DrakBoot program in the Mandrake Control Center, be sure the "Enable ACPI" option is checked (ON) in the "Bootloader mani options" window. That should fix the powerdown problem, but the "shutdown -r" should reboot the pc no matter what the acpi setting is.
What is the last thing printed (in verbose mode) when it hangs during shutdown?

Hello,

Thanks for the help. I tried what you suggested and the system still hangs right at the end of shudown. The last few lines output in verbose mode are:

Unmounting file systems: [ OK ]
Unmounting procfile system: [ OK ]
Halting system...
Power down.

If it helps any, i've pasted the contents of my lilo.conf file below.
