I use Slackware 10.2 and current with different kernel of 2.6 branch. I've got a Pentium 4 3200 with mobo GigaByte 8AECXPD i925XE. In both these cases, I'm not able to shut down my pc, but if and ONLY IF I use KDE. With other DE or if I use only the console, it works fine. But, if I enter in KDE, when I try to shut down my pc, I receive the message: "Power down. Acpi_power_off called" and it's possibile to turn the pc off only turnin' off the elettricity too. The on/off button doesn't work. After a lot of investigations and recompilations of kernel, finally I discovered the cause of this trouble. The origin of all is the module hda_intel, for my sound card. If it's disabled, the pc shuts down correctly. If loaded, the pc doesn't halt. I don't know if this is due to alsa modules or to KDE, but, in any case, I've no problems If I use other DE as Fluxbox or I work in console. So, IMHO, there must be something hurting in the relationship between the audio management in KDE and that module...
