Hi John, First it may be worth checking that you have got Advanced Power Management enabled in your kernel (I think it is there by default). I presume that one your "first" drive you have Windows installed? Is this able to power down the machine? Parhaps you should also check your bios settings. Kind regards, Simon John Lowell wrote:
I've got an Intel D850EMV2, a P4 2.26Ghz 533 FSB, and 256MB RDRAM PC1066 with SuSE 8.0 installed on a second drive. Installation went flawlessly, but when I try to shut down, SuSE 8.0 goes through all its paces to reach run level 0 but does not turn off the machine! I've gotten exactly the same result entering either halt or halt -p from the command line in single user mode. Why is SuSE 8.0 not shutting off my machine, can anyone tell me?
