Shuting Down

[tznibs]

Hi Linux Geniuses
I have a problem ! all the time I have to shut down the computer manually !! How come it doesn't shut down automatically !! I have a compaq nx 9010 with red hat Linux 9

Thank you Guys

What do you mean 'manually'? Is it that linux shuts down, but the computer doesn't power down (so you have to push the button), or that linux will not shut down, and you have to push the button?

For the second you may want to try

 shutdown -h now

as root in a terminal.

For you first one you may need acpi confugured to shut down and power down.

It says "Stopping pcmcia: unloading kernel card services " and then freezes here so I have to power down myself
Thanks a lot Linux master

Do you have any pcmcia cards? If not you should disable the PCMCIA service compleatly, you have different ways you can do this, either get Redhats graphical tools to do it, or use the command:

chkconfig --level off

Ough, I remembered that one while I installed slack with the normal kernel (read: no acpi)
