In my case, it was because I installed SuSE with failsafe settings, and during installation when the SuSE installer created the /etc/lilo.conf file it added the failsafe settings to the default kernel, /boot/vmlinuz
I wish it were that simple. Yes, I *had* to use failsafe to be able to install S-7.3, but I since long have discarded that " ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off " and my computer **still** doesn't shut off automatically. What bugs me even more is that S-7.2 (not to mention Win98) does it perfectly. If 7.2 can do it, why can't 7.3? P.S.: That failsafe setting (in my case) is needed *only* for the installation from the CD. Once the system is in the HD, it's not needed. Funny, isn't it? -- Regards, gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida's Suncoast. "I know all. My problem is that rarely can I recall any of it." /RHW/
