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. tnx jk

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.

A small addition: perhaps you need the option 'acpi=force' as kernel parameter? (A bit of a guess, really...) Cheers, Leen
Resetting the BIOS to default cleared the problem. tnx Leendert Meyer wrote:

Uh... telinit and init are the same thing AFAIK.
