On an updated 5.4 box I am using Network UPS Tools (NUT) with an APC Smart-UPS. All is going very well but I cannot bring my box back up after simulating a power failure. At the end of the shutdown the screen shows: "Press any key to reboot" Obviously this is not the desired outcome. How can I get my system to go down completely? Beyond this I understand there may be some BIOS adjustments to be made. I thought ACPI might have something to do with this. The next time around I booted with this disabled but this lead to another problem. My network could not be initialized. I got this message a few times during startup and then the boot sequence continued with networking disabled: "sk0: watchdog timeout" I rebooted again, this time with ACPI enabled, and all was well again. -- Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
