Hello, had the same problem with SuSE 8.0 and P-4 (and SMP kernel). It works now as I upgraded to 8.1. Suppose it is a slightly newer kernel or better ACPI support.

I believe this is actually a feature limitation of SMP machines, and no fault of the kernel itself. I have 4 SMP machines here of various vintages, none of which power off at shutdown the way my uniprocessor machines do. Or maybe someone out there knows differently... Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: James.Rocks@equant.com [mailto:James.Rocks@equant.com] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 02:13 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Auto Power Down Hi, On my dual PIII/500 machine the macine will not auto power off. I used to get this on my P4 but found it was because the multi-processor kernel had been installed and the solution was to uninstall that and install a single processor kernel. Obviously I want a multi-processor kernel on this box but I would also like it to power down automatically. James C. Rocks Equant Archway House Canary Wharf London E14 9SZ
