Hi everybody, I met the captioned problem twice in installing following new kernels; linux-2.3.99-pre6 linux-2.4.0-test1 I have selected most relevant options related to APM under General Setup and made following changes to /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt Changed command="halt" to command="poweroff" re-boot the machine but power is still not off automatically in exiting Linux. Kindly shed me some light. Thanks in advance (Remark: My PC has ATX power supply. It poweroffs in R.H.6.2 but not in new kernels) B.R.
