From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Description of problem: acpi services won't work. computer won't turn itself off when I do a shutdown -h now system hault freezes the system, it won't shut itself off. THis has worked fine in FC1 and 2, but not 3 for some reason can't seem to figure out why Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): one that came with FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.terminal 2.shutdown -h now 3. Actual Results: system haults, but does not power down Expected Results: should power itself down Additional info:
I have the same problem, my motherboard is epox 8k9a2+ with latest bios. Shutdown worked fine with fc2. I also tried different acpi suspend types from the bios but with no success. maybe related bug: 139284
I'm seeing the same problem. In my case, the last few lines of console output are: Shutdown: hda Power down. acpi_power_off called Power remains on, even though the system is now halted. The system used to turn off the power just fine, right through Fedora Core 2. This is a new regression in Fedora Core 3. My motherboard is an ABIT KG7. I have an Athlon CPU with AMD-760 and VIA VT82C686 chipsets. Kernel was booted with "acpi=on" on the command line. Bug #139402 may also be related.

someone on the fedora mailing list sent me this: and it worked! in grub.conf, add to the end of your kernel line, acpi=ht suprisingly that fixed the problem. weird. I put it between rhgb and quiet
