Check that ACPI is on in your BIOS 2. check that the init.d script acpid is running 3. after boot do a grep on dmesg for lines with ACPI or acpi. In my case it told me to add the kernel parameter lacpi to the kernel line in grub.conf and that worked. YMMV By the way poweroff is not the answer -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
