From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I am not sure if this is a Kernel problem or an ACPI problem. I am running on a compaq nw8000 and the poweroff or shutdown -t now does not completely shutdown the machine. The machine goes through its shutdown process and then seem to almost turn itself of and on very quickly, but does turn back on completely. Please note that I was using Redhat Enterprize V3 ES, but that the kernel does not appear to support ACPI. I therefore installed the FC1 kernel and acpi is now working. Any help with trying to determine why the FC1 kernel does not shutdown the machine completely would be helpful. The acpid that I am running is the one that is available with FC1. I am not sure if this is a bug or a configuration issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Shutdown -t now/poweroff 2. 3. Actual Results: Shutdown routine runs unmount drives. etc machine stays up with partial power. Expected Results: Machine should turn off. Additional info:
