Hello List, After consulting this list I finally build my SuSE AMD64 system (Workstation), and it works really very nice. After the build I performed an install out of the box with linux raid 0 and standard packages, no parameters and all hardware worked without a glitch. All the 64bit and 32bit software I tried worked good. Really a good job SuSE! One detail I have to fix: The machine will not power off after shutdown; it only halts. Then the powerswitch doesn't react either. I have to hold it for 4 seconds to force it to power off. Maybe an APM setting somewhere? Maybe it is not possible with smp instalations? Maybe I'm in the wrong list to ask? Maybe I just have to leave my machine on :-) Does somebody know how I can do this? Thanks. Emile van Mierlo System: Tyan Tiger K8W (s2875), Dual Opteron 244, 2 x 1GB Kinston PC2700 registered RAM Adaptec 29160 SCSI, 2 x Maxtor Atlas 10k4 SCSI Nvidia FX5900 Graphics (Asus V9950SE), Plextor PX-708A CD/DVD The power switch is set to "on/off" in the BIOS.

ON my maschine (Shuttle AN50R board) works following: 1. Please set BIOS to DPMI support 2. Enable ACPI via acpid daemon. I hope this helps for you.

Maybe an APM setting somewhere? Maybe it is not possible with smp instalations? Maybe I'm in the wrong list to ask?
APM is not supported for 64bit OS, only ACPI. There are unfortunately some machines that do not power off,I've seen that with some 32bit boxes. Changing some of the Suspend setting in the BIOS setup may help. Otherwise I don't have a solution. -Andi
Hello Andy,
APM is not supported for 64bit OS, only ACPI.
I didn't know that.
Changing some of the Suspend setting in the BIOS setup may help.
I Switched APM support off in the BIOS and ... now it powers off after shutdown.
Otherwise I don't have a solution.
This was the one I needed, thanks! Emile
