Once upon a time, I heard Moore, Paul say > Hi, > I have a PC with APM support at home. I've installed Debian (Potato) onto it > and built my own kernel with APM support compiled in (I needed to build my > own to add the APM real mode calls option, as the default kernel crashes on > a poweroff call). > > Now, I can successfully shut down, but the "poweroff" command shuts down to > power off mode, and then immediately reboots instead of switching the power > off. Is this a known/common problem (I vaguely recall having a similar > problem on this PC with Win98, before I removed it, and I have also had the > same problem on a laptop running Windows NT). > I think it's more of hardware/bios problem since I have one Gateway box among many Gateway box that refuse to powerdown :( And I couldn't find a way to overcome the problem. ANW, I always leave the box on all the time so it's not a big problem.
