It is not what got may machine to shutoff. It implies that ACPI is off in the BIOS.. You want to use apm rather the better acpi. On my machine when I had acpi on in the BIOS and running from init.d this is what I found. As the system booted there was a message acpi shutting down try the lacpi option on the kernel. That may not be the boot message verbatim but that was the content. So I put the lacpi on the grub kernel line and the machine shut down. This may be another alternative to solve your problem. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
