This is not something I've seen. Usually, when the poweroff command doesn't work, it stops at the message 'OK to turn off.' Try adding: acpi=off to your kernel arguments in grub. In my experience, acpi has only recently begun working properly. However, when it works, it can be quite nice. For example I am now able to press my power off button and have the machine run the proper shutdown sequence--all because of acpi. > How can I resolve it? > > I tried to write the parameter noapic nolapic on the grub console > > before starting kernel, > > but the system doesn't work correctly. > > I'm waiting for your information. > > Yours Sincerely. > > Sauro Cesaretti > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Bringing the Owasys 22C screenless cell phone to the U.S. and Canada.
