I guess you allready tried appending amp=power_off to the kernel options... What does it do on '# halt' ? Andrei Popescu Freddie Cash wrote:
I don't manage to turn off my Hyundai 255KI 15, Debian Sarge 3.1, neither with '# shutdown -h now' nor with '# halt'. Any help? Instead, I can reboot the computer with '# reboot'. Also, I can turn it off with Mandrake 10.1 with '$ halt'.Use either "poweroff" instead of halt, or edit the shutdown file under /etc/defaults and tell it to use "poweroff" when you run "shutdown -h now". It's really annoying that Linux' version of shutdown doesn't have a -p switch.
