Hello, I've got an older Compaq EVO D510 desktop that I was thinking to setup as a lab machine (that should be also used by people who basicaly have no Linux knowledge). I've installed Gentoo on it and it works well but for one thing:
When I want sto shut it down, it reboots! This happens as well from KDE as from the command line with "shutdown -h now": the machine does shut down, then auto-reboots. I've thought it might be linked to ACPI - so I added noacpi acpi=off (I don't know why but it seems I need both to make grub understand) and now it shuts down and stpos, but does not turn off... and if I push the power button, it reboots. Just now I'm thinking I should look if APM is compiled into the kernel, I did a genkernel all so I assume it is. Any idea as to what other possibilities exist to tell that machine just to shut down and turn off? Thierry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
