I have a cheap MyFavoritePC celeron 400 with added ram and hard disk space. It works pretty well and fast with Linux.
One thing I haven't been able to get it to do is shutdown the computer and power it off. I tried both kernel options for power down, both real mode, and real mode disabled. I've looked at the halt command in the init scripts and it has the -p option passed to it. I have no idea what's wrong. The computer turns off correctly with Win 2k and win98. Another thing is if I put the computer to sleep by apm -s, it wakes up in 2 minutes or so. I even disabled cron, (leaving anacron running) and the computer still wakes up on its own after about 2 minutes of sleeping. This occurs with all my desktop computers. I have never been able to keep a desktop computer with linux asleep. What am I doing wrong? Is there something i'm not checking? Any advice, help would be appreciated, Thanks, David
