Hey SuSE guys/girls, Anyone have any luck in finding the problem causing 10.2 not to power down the machine? As a couple of others here have had happen, I too installed 10.2, but it will not power off the computer. It will "shutdown", but not power off as with earlier versions. It's a reasonably new mobo of which I've never had a problem with before with any of the versions of SUSE since 7.2. The acpi is rock solid, has always worked except for the present build. Kernel? Something else?
I remember seeing some errors during bootup about loading some kernel modules, but don't remember what they were. It's a test machine, so I'm not close to it presently. It does appear to be a bug though. I'm suspecting some new support for a new acpi version which caused loss of support for previous versions or just a buggy kernel? Just a thought. bye, Lee ============ Ok, answering my own email. Maybe this will help others, maybe not. It seems that either the kernel or SUSE's kernel or SUSE in general is using more of the computer's BIOS settings than before. I decided to try an experiment by changing the BIOS setting of "ACPI aware OS?" to yes. It has always been no until 10.2, because basically Linux pays very little attention to BIOS settings. Doesn't seem to be the case now, because making this change makes the computer power off normally. bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
