On a Tyan 2875 with dual 246 Opterons I had 9.2 working so that a tap of the power button would issue a "halt" command and actually turn off the power. Alas, with 9.3 I get the "halt" behavior but the power isn't turned off. I rebooted with 9.2 and it works, back to 9.3 and it doesn't. I've configured everything I can find, but maybe I missed something?

Try YaST --> System --> Power Management, there are various settings there to try.

Hi Sid, I tried YaST's Power-Management screen, but no joy. It's configured to "Power Off" instead of "Reboot", but just hangs after the shutdown sequence. It even disables the front-panel power switch (holding it in for more than six-seconds doesn't turn the power off). I have to reach behind and turn the actual power supply switch off. Since 9.2 works, this is definitely a problem with 9.3. Sure, a minor problem, but an annoyance nevertheless. Thanks, Lew
