I was hoping that the kernel had progressed enough to be able to power it off also. Maybe 2.6.1? Ah. The new motherboards that support P4C's also support ACPI. Recent 2.4 kernels support power control through ACPI, even w/ SMP. Your client's old motherboard wouldn't have ACPI. If you look at /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/apm.c, you'll see this comment. (I'm looking at vanilla 2.4.21.) /* * See Documentation/Config.help for the configuration options. * * Various options can be changed at boot time as follows: * (We allow underscores for compatibility with the modules code) * apm=on/off enable/disable APM * [no-]allow[-_]ints allow interrupts during BIOS calls * [no-]broken[-_]psr BIOS has a broken GetPowerStatus call * [no-]realmode[-_]power[-_]off switch to real mode before * powering off * [no-]debug log some debugging messages * [no-]power[-_]off power off on shutdown * [no-]smpUse apm even on an SMP box * bounce[-_]interval=n number of ticks to ignore suspend * bounces * idle[-_]threshold=n System idle percentage above which to * make APM BIOS idle calls.

I don't have access to a pre-ACPI SMP motherboard anymore, so I can't try this. It looks, from a cursory reading of the code in that file, like you should boot with apm=smp,power-off or apm=smp,power-off,realmode-power-off. If apm is a module, you can pass the right options in when you load it. # insmod apm power_off=1 smp=1 or # insmod apm power_off=1 smp=1 realmode_power_off=1 The coffee hasn't kicked in yet so I'm having trouble the English language.

Re: [eug-lug]Power Down
Hi, I think we have that same P4 and it works for me too. I have a client with a dual 233. It's never worked with that. I was hoping that the kernel had progressed enough to be able to power it off also. Maybe 2.6.1? The power off capability is in the kernel. The right combination will turn off a single CPU system when you type halt. The wrong combination will either do nothing or lock it up. The coffee hasn't kicked in yet so I'm having trouble the English language.
