Hi. I have a clone laptop with Suse 7.0, with kernel upgraded to 2.4.2. Since installing Suse 7.0 on it locks have been frequent. Finally, it is stable with ACPI in kernel, instead of APM. But before, with APM, when turning it off, its power supply went off. With ACPI the last messages when turning off are: ..... /dev/hda4 umounted proc umounted The system will be halted immediately Master Resource Control: runlevel 0 has been reached It then stays on forever. It is no problem; however pressing the on-off button is needed . Next turn on is normal. Since it dual boots in W98SE, this popular graphic operating system (not installed in ACPI mode; it was unstable) "knows" with APM how to turn off the power supply. Any workaround or suggestion for making its power supply go off at the end of the shutdown process with 2.4.2 kernel using ACPI?
