Hi Pawel Kraszewski, Tks for your advice.

If it doesn't, this might be the hardware fault. I made following 2 tests 1) Booted "Gentoo install-amd64-minimal-2006-1" Ran # shutdown -h now (also tried "poweroff") System halted but not poweroff 2) Booted "Knoppix 5" Ran # shutdown -h now System halted and poweroff immediately. I think it is the problem of Gentoo not hardware. > Put some light and describe your hardware. Especially - which motherboard > model, drop your 'lspci' output.
