Re: [CentOS] Shutdown/poweroff does not power off machine

Must be the Optiplex - Thursday afternoon, we just did poweroffs on well over 100 servers (HVAC maintenance this past Sat!), and it worked just fine.

I have the same issue with one of my boxes. 'Shutdown' will get to the point of actually powering down, but just sit at 'System halted'.

Here are the specs: mb: Gigabyte GA-7ZX rev 1.0 cs: VIA KT133/686A cpu: AMD Athlon 1.33 GHz socket: A/462 os: CentOS 5.3 RAM: 384 MB video: GeForce4 MX440

I recently bought it (used), and this is the only OS I've used on it (not even a previous CentOS).

What can I check? (logs? ...) What should I look for?
