Currently running kernel-smp-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5. If I boot to runlevel 3, I can shut down and power off no problem, but if I boot to level 5 (any of Gnome, KDE or FluxBox), the shutdown proceeds (without error) as far as "called ACPI power off" ... but doesn't actually power off. I've checked logs over and over, and there is nothing there to indicate why this is happening. I even removed Gnome-Power-Manager, unplugged my UPS (which *is* correctly recognised and set up), and tried manually rmmod'ing and killing tasks at level 1 to facilitate a clean power off, but without success. This all used to work, but there have been many changes between now and then, including kernel upgrades and the setup of various services such as NFS (client). How can I diagnose this further, and see what is actually preventing the ACPI call from doing its job? -- K. http://slated.org - Slated, Rated & Blogged Beware the Penguin: http://www.victorialodging.com/video/Never_Trust_A_Penguin.mpg Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) on sky, running kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 22:01:33 up 93 days, 22:18, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.17, 0.08
