It's a kernel issue. At the end of shutdown, the /etc/init.d/halt script is executed which tells the kernel to do a poweroff. In your case, the kernel doesn't do that. That means something is different between the slackware kernel and the Debian kernel, or that the hardware is different. On most machines you can get this to work by enabling the right powersave stuff (APM/ACPI) in the kernel. In some cases, loading the "apm" module is enough, if indeed that module was compiled for and included with the kernel you are running. Otherwise you have to compile and install a custom kernel for your machine. Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
