Re: Power off

[praveen kallakuri]

acpi is a new standard in power management that is more under the 
control of the OS than the bios. if acpi is enabled, you should have 
things like ac_adapter, battery, etc under /proc/acpi. or you can check 
dmesg and whether you can see ACPI related messages, you should see 
messages like "battery socket found, battery present" etc.

once you have acpi enabled, you need to have the likes of acpid to 
control all the information that acpi modules from the kernel provide. 
but thats all the cosmetic part. the basic functionality you desire 
should work if your hardware is ACPI compatible and acpi is correctly 
compiled into your kernel.

I think you need to enable Advanced power management.  Its disabled by 
default..   I think the -apm flag at boot will enable it.  Or you can 
recompile your kernel with support enabled.
 

*It's* enabled. Change nothing on 2 computers (notebook and NoName) but 
the 2 others, more recent ... are doing a reboot instead of halt! One is 
RH73 second Debian woody. Very strange. I also checked the bios, but 
nothing who could have relation with this (in my opinion, of course :-))
