Re: power off on shutdown doesn't work
Akop,
I had the same problem... there is a line in
lilo.conf that says # APPEND="" sorry not sure about
the = after it. If you change it to APPEND="apm=on"
save it then you need to type lilo so that lilo.conf
will update. Remember to remove the # and the space
before APPEND.
