RE: How to power off the PC after shutdown
On my system (Intel815), the APM doesn't work with any of these options.
I also tried the "real mode APM Bios call" option. No use.
I had to use ACPI to have the system powered off. APM doesn't work for
me.

Depends on your kernel (if I remember correctly), for a 2.4.* kernel you
need to load the apm module, for the 2.2.* you need the following line
append="apm=on"
in your lilo.conf (or add apm=on to the append line if you allready have
one). And then of course give the correct command, something like
poweroff or shutdown -h. I like to type ctr-alt-del on the command line,
for that to work (the default is reboot) you have to change the line in
/etc/inittab beginning with 'ca:'
Good luck,
Tim
