Hello everybody, Jessica again. Ok, this is what I got from the term for kernel: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6xen #1 SMP Tue Apr 10 18:03:37 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Also, I found the command poweroff in the bin dir like someone told me. I run it, but still the same. System halted, and that's it. Computer still on. I'd like to mention that I have 2 copies of Windows on this rig, and they both shutdown just fine, so I don't think I have to look in the bios settings. I also forgot to mention that this is my first experience with linux, but I believe you've realized it by now. What should I do now? Thanks again, JJ
Have you tried Aaron's suggestions? Whether or not #1 applies, #2 should be true and it's possible #3 (dmesg | grep -i acpi) could help you diagnose the problem. In my experience, you should be able to add a parameter to grub.conf to get a full shutdown - but that parameter's going to vary based on your hardware. Chris
