Make sure you have support for power management compiled into your kernel. I don't believe this is available as a module (by looking at the kernel configuration, here) which means you'll have to do some compiling if you want it.
IIRC, all I had to do in the past is select the main option (ignoring all the sub options) to get the system to shutdown automatically. Come to think of it, I have a UPS and could probably stand to compile that option back in... -Statux On Thu, 25 Sep 2003, Michael Mansour wrote: > Hi, > > I have two new servers (different types) and each > server supports the ability to power itself off on a > shutdown - I've installed windows and linux partitions > on each, though they are linux servers. > > >From a windows shutdown they power themselves off. > > >From a linux "shutdown -h now", they go to the "Power > down" prompt after shutting down the drives, but they > do not power-off. > > I have many other servers and desktop PC's which do > power-off on a shutdown but have been stumped to > figure out why these two don't under linux but do > under windows. > > Anyone have any suggestions, know where this is > controlled? and why? > > I'm using RH8 with latest RPM'ed kernels. > > Michael. > > > http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
