Laptop won't switch off

[lomo]

I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2055 Laptop
Celeron M 1,6 Ghz and 512Mb RAM
Via S3 onboard graphics and Realtek AC97 sound
Opensuse 10,3

When I do a shutdown from KDE desktop it reboots (GRUB)
This is the only OS installed (not dual booting)

I tried a Consol shutdown -h -P -t but it still reboots

At present I shut down as follows:

etc/sysconfig/shutdown changed to HALT (not poweroff)
When it reached runlevel 0 - I manually switch off at the power button

Is this ACPI problem? Or how the Kernel was compiled?

Note: Opensuse 10,20 did not have this problem (or Mandriva2007/PClos2007)

Any help would be really appreciated

Hi and Welcome !

Are you passing any special parameter to kernel? Post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst file here ( kernel line only ).

Hi and thanks for responding

No special parameters passed to kernel. Will only be able to post contents later
as work pc down (Windows and am working from an internet cafe.

Hi again

In the interests of my sanity and wallet I have installed opensuse 10,20 for now.

This has solved the problem and will investigate later why that happened.
