I can't shutdown automatically using Mandrake. It stops all the services then pauses at "power off". Using Epox 8KHA+ with latest BIOS. Can anyone help? Use to be able to shutdown using RedHat 7.1
Here's a rundown of my spec: Athlon 1.2 GHz Epox 8KHA+ MSI GeForce 2 GTS 512 MB RAM, 80 GB WD HD C-Media 8738 sound card Sony 16x DVD, Sony 8x4x32 CDRW

I hv ACPI enabled in the BIOS because WinXP shuts down just fine.
Ok but i did not enabled it in my kernel. How do i do that? Isn't it supposed to be enabled by default? Red Hat 7.1 used 2 be able 2 do that just fine (power off my pc).
