I'd like to ask you a couple of things regarding my core 6 install. How do I shut it down? I mean, completely power off? Rebooting is not a problem, but when I choose shutdown, it stops everything, and then says "system halted" and that's it. I believe it even puts to sleep the hard drive, but the computer is still on. What should I do?
You might need to play with BIOS options regarding enabling/disabling of ACPI. You might need to play with kernel options regarding ACPI and APM. Install the "kernel-doc" package, and read the kernel-parameters file for what you can do.
less /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc*/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
(Or find a copy on-line somewhere, and read it off the web.)
