Lap top hangs while shutdown ...

Hi,

I'm using an assembled LapTop with kernel version 2.4.22, as I shut down the system with init 0, the shutdown process hangs with a message 'no more process left in this run level' and the system refuses to shutdown properly.

Perhaps ACPI is needed for this.Please suggest me a solution.

Try adding the option ACPI=force to your /etc/lilo/conf file (if you use lilo), then run the lilo -v command.

Hi Jeremy,

But I'm using Grub and not lilo, is there any similar option for grub???

Regards

Same option should work for Grub, but you don't have run the grub -v command (as there isn't one ;) ) What the option does force the OS to use ACPI when X isn't running, i.e. when you're shutting down.
