shutdown configuration
|

| Christian Neuhaus 2005-02-23, 7:45 am |
| Hi!
I recently installed mepis linux, and now I have a problem with the
shutdown: Whatever I type, like shutdown -h now or poweroff or whatever,
it's shutting down, displays "power down", but not acutally does that. I
can hear the harddisk being turned off, but the computer itself stays
switched on. What's intereting: Off the live cd, it works fine, but not
when I use it installed on the harddisk.
Any ideas? Some config-file maybe?
Thanks in advance, Chris

This means that APM or ACPI support is not active/not loaded. If your
mainboard supports apm, try `modprobe apm`. To load the module at boot
time, add "apm" to /etc/modules. If your system does not support APM
anymore, or you want to use the newer ACPI for some reason, check your
bootloader configuration, maybe some kernel parameter switches off ACPI
in the kernel (the basic ACPI support cannot be compiled as a module,
so if it is inactive it has been disabled, or your mainboard is
blacklisted). Also check the dmesg output.
best regards

Also install 'apmd' and reboot, if it STILL, doesn't work add:
anapic nolapic
to the line:
#koptions (without uncomenting the line)
in your /boot/grub/menu.lst, or lilo.conf if you're using LILO.

Sorry, that should read:
noapic nolapic
