I have been complaining for months that FC6 would not shutdown my machine and cut off the power. I decided I had to solve this problem. In the end it turned out to me very simple. First to make sure the BIOS had ACPI enabled. Then in checking the boot messages I noticed the acpi was being turned off and the message said to use lacpi on the kernel boot line. When I did the machine could shut off. So why did I not find this earlier. Well it is my fault but I still don't know why FC6 shut off acpi in the first place. Any ideas out there? -- ======================================================================= Bridge ahead.
