power off
(please cc me)
Hi everybody!
I've got a problem with a machine (using an Asus SP98AGP-X mainboard) that doesn't want to power off since moving from 2.2.x to 2.4.x kernel. As I haven't found any other solution, can I simply replace the new apm.c by the old one from 2.2.x or just a part of the unit or would that be fatal?
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!
Thanks in advance,
Christian Schoenebeck
Hi,
You mell well find that you just need to upgrade your userspace utilities to make it work. For me, using the exact same kernel!!! but a different distro makes the difference between the computer just sitting there when I shutdown -h now or actually powering off...
In this particular case I just moved from SuSE 7.2 to Mandrake 8.1 and suddenly poweroff worked. (Note I used my custom kernel in both cases which I just copied from the old install onto the new one.)
Having said all that some versions of 2.4 kernels have broken shutdown so it would help if you said which kernel version you are using...
Cheers,
Anton

I'm using latest Debian Woody - up to date packages, so I don't think that should be the problem.

First I used 2.2.19pre17 and everything was fine, now unfortunately I had to move to 2.4.x and tried 2.4.17 and now 2.4.7 (both Debian customized). Of course I enabled apm ("apm=on" kernel parameter and also "Enable PM at boot time"). As this didn't work, I also tried "User real mode APM...", "Allow Interrupts..." and I tried ACPI instead. All didn't work!
So is there anything else I can do?

I have to boot my 2.4 kernels with apm=power-off
