chris z Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 (edited) just add this to your append line somewhere.............. acpi=off the whole line should look like this.......... append="devfs=mount acpi=off resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" run lilo -v as root from terminal afterwards. without knowing what the error was you got last time you did that, i can only venture a guess that your either didn't run it as root or you made a spelling/syntax error when you edited the line.

payasam Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 What advice for me? MDK 10.0 Official, problem has occurred twice in the last couple of days. When I want to get out, the blue screen with the cross at the centre comes up -- and that's all. Nothing -- CTL-ALT-DEL, CTL-ALT-ESC, foul abuse, saying "pretty please" -- shakes it. I have to do a reset or else turn off the mains power. On booting into MDK again, there's the "appears to have shut down uncleanly" message.

Sarissi Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 acpi=off means that mandrake won't turn off the computer. acpi=on means that it will. However...... ACPI in BIOS must be enabled for it work. I have apic disabled and acpi=on ( noapic acpi=on ) and do not have problems shutting down. Chipset is nForce2 on this Gigabyte mobo. I went through MCC to do this. No probs, and doing it from a console is not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
