My computer doesn't switch off upon 'shutdown -h now', so I looked around on the net and found:
To switch the power off on shutdown in Linux: - Compile apm into the kernel - Add the following line in /etc/lilo.conf: append="apm=on apm=power-off" - Enter 'lilo' on the command prompt Did that (kernel 2.4.21). Result: boot procedure hangs, the last printed line says: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16) I checked only 'apm' in the kernel config menu, none of the subsequent items. I didn't install the apm package of the Debian distribution, because I wouldn't like an additional deamon just for powering off my desktop, if it is not really necessary.
