Re: [SLE] Can't power down with SuSE 9.0
I was able to clear the problem, by setting the BIOS to the default values and reconfiguring. tnx jk BandiPat wrote:

I've discovered that I cannot power down my sytem, except with the power switch. I've tried halt, halt -p, shutdown, telinit 0 etc., and the result is always the same. Instead of the computer turning off or even halting, it always reboots. As I'm running this computer on a UPS, this is a critical matter. Power down worked fine on this computer, when running Red Hat 7.3. The mother board is an ASUS A&V266-E & Athlon XP 1700+ CPU.

Isn't this usually attributed to ACPI? Is that module loaded with your kernel? That's the only time I have had to turn a computer off manually, when ACPI wasn't loaded or the motherboard has a faulty or buggy version of it.
According to boot.msg, ACPI was loaded and ps aux shows it to be running.

Odd, ok, so it's never worked since you installed SuSE? What about your BIOS settings? Any possibility that the settings got whacked or you mistakenly changed something there?
I've checked the BIOS settings, but don't see anything wrong there.
