----- Original Message ----- | Hi, | | am using latest C6 on a Dell GX270 with latest Bios. | It fails to power down but restarts when running | $ sudo poweroff | | I tried some google hints for kernel boot option: | acpi=force | no help, looks like acpi is working anyway when looking in dmesg | acpi=off | makes e1000 nic fail to initialize | | Any suggestions? | Rainer Update the BIOS. Should fix it. We had this issue a while back and the new BIOS corrected the issue. -- James A.
