I have solved my problem and this solution might work for other people. After the install acpi=no was in lilo.conf.
Although I applied some updates since the original install there were no kernel updates although one of the updates may be needed to make this work. in mcc, select boot options and there is a check box for acpi. Change it to on and it will ask to install the acpi package. After installing acpi reboot. After the reboot the reference to acpi in lilo.conf is gone and the computer now shuts down properly. Hopes this helps some else. -----Original Message----- From: RickS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 8 February 2007 9:46 AM To: newbie@mandrivalinux.org Subject: Re: [newbie] mandriva 2007 acpi install Gregg Jorgenson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Hi Hi Gregg, > I have an asus p4p800 motherboard and an asus ti4800se video card.

Between 2005 and 2006 on different hardware, the kernel required me to append "lacpi pci=routeirq" to get a stable box working, no crashes. This is only to illustrate that with a new kernel these things can happen. [...] > A google search suggests this problem is not unique suggesting using lines > in boot options to force no acpi.

Probably? maybe if others suggested it, why not try it and check the stabiltity if it starts X ... use the force =) acpi=force > Does anyone know how to do an acpi enabled install on similar hardware but > make the graphical server start. These are some of the kernel parameters for 2.6.17 (from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt) acpi=[HW,ACPI] Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Format: { force | off | ht | strict | noirq } force -- enable ACPI if default was off off -- disable ACPI if default was on noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing ht -- run only enough ACPI to enable Hyper Threading strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not strictly ACPI specification compliant. See also Documentation/pm.txt, pci=noacpi lapic[IA-32,APIC] Enable the local APIC even if BIOS disabled it. nolapic [IA-32,APIC] Do not enable or use the local APIC. apic [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any IOAPICs that may be present in the system. pci=option[,option...][PCI] various PCI subsystem options: noacpi [IA-32] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing or for PCI scanning. routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices. This is normally done in pci_enable_device(), so this option is a temporary workaround for broken drivers that don't call it.
