Anyone have any luck in finding the problem causing 10.2 not to power down the machine? As a couple of others here have had happen, I too installed 10.2, but it will not power off the computer. It will "shutdown", but not power off as with earlier versions. It's a reasonably new mobo of which I've never had a problem with before with any of the versions of SUSE since 7.2. The acpi is rock solid, has always worked except for the present build. Kernel? Something else?
I had a similar problem with 7.something, time ago. It would not power off, I had to wait half a year for the next version to solve the problem. It worked previously, and it worked later.
I remember seeing some errors during bootup about loading some kernel modules, but don't remember what they were.
You should check them. They should be in /var/log/boot.something.
Ok, answering my own email.
I was going to say that you sent it twice :-P
Maybe this will help others, maybe not. It seems that either the kernel or SUSE's kernel or SUSE in general is using more of the computer's BIOS settings than before.
I decided to try an experiment by changing the BIOS setting of "ACPI aware OS?" to yes. It has always been no until 10.2, because basically Linux pays very little attention to BIOS settings. Doesn't seem to be the case now, because making this change makes the computer power off normally.
