Can't turn off computer

[Earny]

The title sais enough. Since I installed mdk 10.1, the computer performs all task after requesting a shut down of the system. It send the term signal and the kill all signal, but when it comes to shutting down, the computer seems to receive an instruction (a minor click), but it does not really shut down The mdk screen with the tasks performed remains.

In the append line of your Lilo config file (/etc/lilo.conf) make sure that it reads ;

acpi=on

[Earny]

In my lilo conf old file the append lne was as follows

append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7 splash=silent"

 

Now In the new lilio conf file as folllows:

append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7 splash=silent"

 

Should I use the old one?

Thanks in advance

I changed ht into on in the lilo conf file and now it works fiine.

Using the old append line caused problems

Thanks

Anon,

 

This problem has annoyed the hell out of me for about 6 months now. I looked all over the place for an answer and figured it was my motherboard. Thanks for the fix.

I checked 'enable acpi' and added acpi=on to the append line, and it works fine with my nForce2 mobo.
