I've recently installed openSUSE 11.0 w/ KDE4 on a slightly older computer (~7 yo). Selecting shutdown from the menu doesn't turn off the computer; it eventually displays the "system will be shut down immediately" and "runlevel 0 has been reached" messages but the system does not get shut down and just sits there. The BIOS is an older version of AMIBIOS.
Windows XP had no problems with it; I haven't tried any other Linux flavors yet. Any ideas?
Some machines need apm to power off, others need acpi. Both methods are mutually exclusive, and if during boot the wrong one is chosen some things (like powering off) will not work. You may try forcing the other one at boot. My guess is that being old linux will be using apm. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
