Anyone know how to get the P4P800 deluxe to power off when it shuts down in
Redhat Linux 8.0 or 9.0?
It just sits at power down but never shuts off.

thx

Wow !!!
I am surprised you even got it up and running..Usually Linux is a bit
behind in their drivers..My Lycouris Desktop does the same thing on
another older motherboard..Funny though Suse 8 to 8.2 works,Redhat9.0
works,and MDK 9.1 works OK on this same MoBo..
I would suggest you check around the Power control area with different
settings..
Sorry I can not be more helpful...

I had so many problems with Redhat 9 on this mobo I went back the 8.0. The
only problems I have so far with RH 8.0 on this mobo are the power down
issue and a problem with the poorly written LAN drivers.

Do you have a kernel with ACPI ?
Do you have Hyperthreading enabled and use a SMP-Kernel ?
Did you try appending apm=power-off to the kernel command line?

I do not want idle power off and what I am looking for is when you perform a
shutdown for the PC to shutoff. Will adding this line only have that
effect?

thx

If it works for you, yes.
