Hi again,
a quick note to show you the log of yesterday session:
Apr 24 23:21:57 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:0a.0[A] -> GSI
17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Apr 24 23:21:57 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.0[A] -> GSI

Apr 24 23:21:57 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI

Apr 24 23:21:57 localhost kernel: ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB]
Apr 24 23:21:57 localhost kernel: ibm_acpi: ec object not found
and a whole lot of other lines before that.
So, maybe I have to check the bios....a task that I dread!
Regarding VmWare, I saw the Virtual Machine Manager, but it can only perform
network installations (right?), and I've never done those. Any good tutorial
around that can teach me?

Hi guys,
I'd like to ask you a couple of things regarding my core 6 install.
How do I shut it down? I mean, completely power off?
Rebooting is not a problem, but when I choose shutdown, it stops
everything,
and then says "system halted" and that's it. I believe it even puts to
sleep
the hard drive, but the computer is still on.
What should I do?
Push the power button after that and it will turn off. Linux is shut
down (completely), it just failed to tell the motherboard/PSU to turn
off. This is an issue with ACPI (the fact that Windows works is
irrelevant). Begin looking for ACPI messages in /var/log/messages as
others have suggested. Run this command as root:
grep -i acpi /var/log/messages
