I have the same problem on a frontend only using a Shuttle computer, which is quite new.
(Old BIOS - really!) Sometimes it does power off itself, though. I can't see a pattern.

This is my oldest combo. It is a Gigabyte GA-7Zmmh with an Athlon 2200+ When it boots I see an error message about the age of the bios and acpi From syslog. Code: Sep 16 17:01:36 xxxxxxx kernel: ACPI: BIOS age (2001) fails cutoff (2002), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
Sep 16 17:01:36 xxxxxxx kernel: ACPI: Disabling ACPI support I am not sure where I would "Force" acpi as it suggests if I even needed to. I did some searching and found that I have some basic ACPI support on this board. Since the ACPI is a form of power management I am bringing up a possibly related oddity I have noticed. When I tell this box to shutdown any number of ways from Powerdown to Halt etc It goes through the motions, but leaves the system at text on the screen and "System Halted" it is still powered at this point and I tap the power button and it turns off. This did not happen under R5C7 only since I upgraded to R5F27. |

I had the same issue on an old Dell w/ ACPI Support To fix it I did the following: As root: Edit the file /etc/lilo.conf replace the line Code: append="splash=silent apm=power-off nomce quiet " with Code: append="splash=silent acpi=force nomce quiet " Then (still as root), run the command Code: lilo
Restart, and you should be set. Hope this works for you, too. |

Thanks. I made the chage you suggested but it doesn't seem to have resolved the error message or the Shutdown issue. Kind of just an annoyance at this point, but I have thought about trying to get both of my SBE boxes to perform shutdowns and wakeups per the built in feature of Knoppmyth. Will need this fixed for that. Still working on it. |

Thanks. dmesg had many "ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device ..." It caused my backend to be slow, mythweb to crash and made life sad for a while. Editing the lilo to read Code: append="nomce quiet screen=800x600 SELINUX_INIT=NO apm=power-off acpi=off"
Fixed my problem. |
