Guest Moose1 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hello, My Mandrake 9.2 install is hanging at the very last part of it's shutdown. I've tried changing the [acpi=ht] setting to [acpi=off] in lilo.conf then running lilo -v, per instructions from another forum, with no luck. I've also tried shutting down from the command line with [shutdown -r now] and [shutdown -h now], also with no success. The last few lines output in verbose shutdown mode are: Unmounting file systems: [ OK ] Unmounting procfile system: [ OK ] Halting system... Power down. Any suggestions? I appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot. Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 hmm, its definately the power management. Its a good healthy shutsown right up to where win98 would say "It is safe to switch off your computrer now" I would suspect the power management in the bios.... as a first guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garf Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 i have the same problem with 10.0 and 10.1 but not in 9.2, someone told me its the upgraded kernel, but thats purely speculation on my behalf!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Try changing it to acpi=on instead of acpi=off . If that doesn't work, get used to hitting the power button :). Everything has shut down properly by the time that message appears, so hitting the power button manually certainly isn't hurting anything.

The fix was to add nolapic noapic acpi=off to the list of kernel options on boot, and use apm, and also upgrade kernel from 2.4.22-10mdk (the standard kernel which shipped with 9.2) to 2.4.22-26mdk (check the version with uname -r.
