powerdown after shutdown part2

[Peter Bürger]

This is a part of my grub.conf. apm=power_off is in there... but
it doesn't work.

Any other reasons why it does not work?

[CODE]
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2174.nptl)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl hde=noprobe hdf=noprobe
hdg=noprobe hdh=noprobe ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb apm=power_off
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.img
[/CODE]
