Shawn,
You must have APM compiled in your kernel to make this work. Do not have ACPI compiled with the APM as I do not believe you need ACPI unless you have a laptop.

Shouldn't APM be compiled into the kernel by default? I haven't changed the kernel from the initially installed one.

You certainly use Lilo and not Grub at boot.
In the case of Lilo, you have to edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and either delete apm=off or add apm=power-off on the first line beginning by
append.
Catimimi.
I edited this : append = " ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off "
to look like this: append = " ide=nodma acpi=off ide=nodma acpi=off "
The system still won't shut down completely.
Jerome.
First this line has unusefull duplicated entries. Second it looks like the entry for the Safe settings.
Don't you have another "append" entry : the first one ?
Do you use SMP ( two processors) ?
If so your append line could be :
append = " ide=nodma acpi=off apm=power-off"
Please send me your file /etc/lilo.conf and tell be if your kernel is SMP and if your machine shutdown completely with Windows.
Catimimi.

I have Suse 8.1 pro with an abit kx7-333 motherboard. I have the same shutdown problem discussed in this thread. My append line looks like: "hdc=ide-scsi hdg=ide-scsi pci=acpi vga=788". I have also tried without the pci=acpi and it still won't shut down. It shuts down fine with win98 and I do not have smp.
