Re: [LUG] Power Down problems

["Paul Sutton" <psutton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a similar problem with my desktop,  running suse 7.3,  but I had the
same prob with rhl 7.1.  (I recompiled my kernel to remove apm support),
anyway with suse 7.3 I get the graphical shutdown, and a screen info on what
is going on -  then at the end I get a message (can't remember what but it's
not one that indicates major probes,  it should power down at this point,
but does'nt -  a quick flick to one of the other consoles, reveales a gpf
fault,  try cycling through (alt F1 - F10) and see if you have got the same
thing.  you should just be able to switch off, I do and don't get any probs.

OTOH my IPC laptop works a treat and auto power off's
