Hello,
I've got a 5.x system, an older box that doesn't use acpi. My first item is
i need to disable acpi. I believe i have done this. I have the following in
/boot/device.hints:
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
hint.apm.0.disabled="0"
hint.apm.0.flags="0x20"
I next have to enable apm and get it to do system power downs when a
shutdown -h or halt -p is issued. This is not working. I get the "press any
key to reboot" but the system never powers down.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Dave.
