  Greetings:

I'm running into some problems trying to get an ATX box to really shut off 
during a shutdown.  Originally with 2.2.19  2.4.10, it would reboot with 
'shutdown -h now' command.  Odd and irritating.  I built a new kernel with 
2.4.17 and now I can get it to actually halt and not reboot, but it doesn't 
send the ATX the command to shut off the power.  Windows however is working 
fine on the same box.  


The chipset is:  ' lspci -v | less'
Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi]: Unknown device 1647 (rev 04)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0
Memory at f000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]

PCI bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5247 (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])

any assist greatly appreciated!

Do you have Advanced Power Management enabled in the kernel?

Re: Installing the right kernel

 I have a USB Epson scanner (supported under Red Hat 7.0) and I've just got
 the CDs of Debian 2.2r2 that I want to install.
 My question is as simple as that:
 needing the scanner, what flavor of kernel (as I read in the installation
 instruction) should I install in order to have USB devices supported by
 default?
 Vanilla is that the right flavor ?
 If not ,what should I do?

2.2r2 includes kernel version 2.2.18pre21, which supports USB.  However, as USB
support is not compiled into the stock kernel, you'll have to recompile the
kernel to include it.

SysV Init

[Stephen Robertson]

I'm fairly new to Debian and still learning the system.  What is the
accepted method of configuring which services are stopped and started in

each run level, and how can I add my own commands to the Init scripts.
RedHat provided a file called rc.local for adding user commands.  Is
there a similar method in Debian?
