By putting acpi=off in the boot screen "options" command line, the computer switches off the next time I shut down. So I have tried adding acpi=off to the "linux" section of the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, and it works.
Ah, the magic solution to all problems: acpi=off. :) Being a lilo user myself I don't know the exact grub location, but it appears to be the same type of solution I've used in /etc/lilo.conf. If it's an incorrect one, at least you're not alone in applying it. :)
Yes, it's the medicine to cure all ills. I just hope that I have put the command in the correct place. I am wondering why SuSE8.2 needs it and the older versions don't. Cheers Keith
