Hi, I got a problem described below: "shutdown -h now" does not automatically poweroff my Intel Box. I have tried "halt -p", "poweroff" commands as well under runlevel 3 as well, they just doesn't poweroff my Linux box as well. The output of "shutdown -r now" on screen is: ...... md: stopping all md devices. flushing ide devices. powerdown. At this time the SATA hard drives are still spinning -- I can hear the noice inside, and the system still responding to "ctrl-alt-del" -- will go to reboot if the key combination is hit. I touch a file /poweroff and re-issue command "shutdown -r now", or "halt -p", the problem is still there. The default Fedora Core installation which runs at Level 5 does poweroff Linux box for "shutdown -r now" , or "halt -p", or "poweroff". Do I need to patch my kernel or the SysVinit rpm? or special options in kernel configuration? Please help. My Computers are: HP Workstation XW4100, HP PC Vectra 420. Kernel is generic kernel 2.4.30, 2.6.12. (downloaded directly from www.kernel.org). FC1 and FC4 Linux __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
