Since the system is old, it uses apm and after googleing for the problem, I added append="acpi=off apm=power_off" to /etc/lilo.conf and apm power_off=1 in /etc/modules Now, this powers off the system again at the end of shutdown. Not sure if there is an easy way to avoid that others have to search for this information as well. Little effort would be to add this to the release notes... and a big benefit for the guys with old hardware who read release notes ;-) Many thanks, Rainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
