Shutdown

[realjoyrex]

When I turn my computer off, I go to terminal and do 'poweroff'. However, after displaying messages 'I2O system down.' and 'Power down.' it just stops there and I have to manually push the power button to turn the power finally off. Maybe I need some module to make it work automatically?

/sbin/modprobe apm

and add it to /etc/????/rc.modules

???? could be rc.d or init.d

Thanks for the answer. I have Debian system, I added a line 'apm' to /etc/modules -file since it reads there 'kernel modules to load at boot time'. I suppose this it the right place?

Should be. :)

[jetblackz]

Yep.

Or put it in lilo.conf

append="mem=128M apm=on apm=power-off" if kernel supports it.
