Description Need Real Name 2000-10-11 13:37:23 UTC 
I have re-installed RedHat 7.0 on a box that was running RedHat 6.2.  The 
problem is when you shutdown the box using init 0, before the box would 
software power down, now it just sits there after reporting all processess 
terminating, umount filesystems, every step except for the power to turn 
off.

Thanks

Rob

The behaviour has changed intentionally. The 'poweroff' command does a shutdown
and power off,
the halt command now just halts the machine. This matches the behaviour of other
platforms.

Tried the poweroff command and still hangs with the words "Power down." and the bottom of the screen.

I fixed the problem.  On Intel motherboards with Phoenix Bios, if you turn of 
advance power management(APM) RedHat will not be able to soft power down.
