Shutdown with power-off

[skyguy_0]

Hi,
i have a problem with shutdown command;
when i type in slackware 7.1:
shutdown -h now
the pc write:
..
...
Power Down

but the pc remain on;
In the kernel config (2.4.2) i have set the Power-off option on, but the power-off don't found.
With windows the power-off found.
How can i do for power-off in linux?

Thanks

It does need to be enabled in your kernel. I've not gone to 2.4.x yet, but it is there in the bareapm.i kernel on the Slack CD, or in the kernel config options.

Or you could do what I do: Never shut down ! (Sorry, it wasn't too constructive, but I couldn't resist :D)

Allready in kernel 2.2.18 the option for APM is in place. enable that, and tell it to power off at shutdown (that is an option you can choose under APM in menuconfig.

Recompile the kernel, run lilo, reboot and you should be there *smile*
