If you append a "3" to the cmdline and boot without a GUI,
does the system still halt properly (even after you log in
and use it for a while)?  There may be some interaction
between X and the video hardware and system shutdown.

Does this happen all the time, or just some of the time?
Has this always failed on box X, or did it used to
work in some release Y, and broke in some release Z?

Please supply X, Y, Z.

Hi folks,

Sometimes when I run 'halt' my PC does not go off. Last
words are

	acpi_power_off called

But the PC stays on.

What is the story here? I've seen this problem come up
several times, but without solution, as it seems. Any
hint would be very helpfull.


Many thanx

Harri
