dman, Thanks for this info. I was previously using the potato kernel 2.2.? and did the "apm=on" in lilo.conf and when I gave it a shutdown it shutdown. Then I moved up to hernel 2.4.12 and I had to manually shutdown my laptop, the "apm=on" was still in lilo.conf so I was stumped. As you said i

I played with lilo.conf a bit more and it turns out it was a matter of not putting 'append="apm=on"' in the right place. I put it above the where it describes the kernel and it now works fine! Thanks to everyone for all your help! Jen

Hi, what kernel version is in woody? The apm code was changed in 2.4.9 and broke apm shutdown on a couple of systems. This was fixed, IIRC, in 2.4.13. So if "apm=on" at the kernel cmdline (see other posts) doesn't cut, you might consider upgrading your kernel. Cheers, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfe
