[Guest chopper123]

Hi..i've got a ibm t42 and when i try to put it off...black screen and it still power on..

try acpi=off apm=on nolapic noapic, with a standrad kernel 2.x.xx-xxmdk.

I have the same problem. Would you settle for Hibernate? That seems to work okay on 10.1 with 2.6 kernel - though admittedly it's not much quicker than just shutting down...

i try this command in my configuration file.

but it doesn' work..

i have the standard mandrake kernel ..

Should i update it with mandrakeupdate?

Some kernels are marked as smp, enterprise, etc. Try shutdown while not using one of those. Also, try to fiddle with BIOS settings. In my imprssion, it's a common problem with Mandrake+ThinkPad (desktop likewise). You might also want to check the Linux on Thinkpads forum http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/.../linux-thinkpad
