Hey Scott,
Bummer about your bios, however, there are still other options to try:
Using your favorite editor, as root user, edit the file
"/boot/grub/menu.lst". You should something like this:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
title Trustix Linux-smp
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-smp ro root=/dev/hda2
initrd /initrd-smp.img
<snip>
"default=0" means the system will try to boot the first kernel listed.
To the kernel we shall add a few parameters:
Originally:
kernel /vmlinuz-smp ro root=/dev/hda2
Add these entries so your kernel line looks like:
kernel /vmlinuz-smp ro root=/dev/hda2 apm=off acpi=off noapic
No reboot your machine -- the parameters will be passed to the kernel
when you boot the system; one the machine comes up again, try the
"reboot" command and see if it completes the shutdown cycle.
Cheers,
Dominic

The BIOS will not allow me to disable the ACPI. F*&#(&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I sent an email to Shuttle but I'm not going to hold my breath.
I'm starting to look at a remotely manageable power strip that will
allow me to power cycle the box.
Thanks for the guidance.

Certainly sounds like an APM for ACPI issue to me -- I had this
problem with an older motherboard as well, but the Shuttle should
have a sufficiently good bios which will allow you to disable
APM/ACPI. Give that a try...
I am using a Shuttle here at work (running SuSE 9.2) which I use as
my workstation -- if you would like, I can tell you how I have my
BIOS configured.
Cheers,

Dominic,
I usually just type "reboot" at the prompt to restart the system.
"Shutdown -r now" produces the same result.
"init 6" produces the same result.
As the system is processing the shutdown/reboot the last few lines are:
-----------------
Please stand by while rebooting the system...
md: stopping all md devices
Flushing ide devices hda hdd
Restarting System
<And then it hangs>
-------------------
At this point in the process I have no choice but to either power
cycle the system or press the reset button. Either way the box
boots normally. If I issue the "halt" command (or "init 0") the
system powers down normally.
It's not often that I will do this but the plan is to place the
system at a remote site.
Thanks
Scott

Hello Scott,
Perhaps you can provide a bit more information?
How do you perform the shutdown? "shutdown -r now" or "init 6" or???
If you perform a "hard" reset, does the system come up normally?
Cheers,
Dominic

All,
I have a few of the Shuttle XPC systems that will not reboot in
Trustix 2.2. The shutdown command works but reboot gets to the
"restarting system" and hangs.
I upgraded the firmware to the latest version but that did not help.
I'm not an OS guru but would like to learn more about this
process. I use Trustix as a tool but don't really know how the
tool works. The real problem is after googling for more than an
hour I'm not even sure where to start the search. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
