Request:

You have an ATX-Board or a laptop and want to poweroff the system at shutdown -h

Procedure:

Therefore you have to rebuild the kernel. Configure it as described in your manual and set the options CONFIG_APM=y and CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y. Using make menuconfig you find them in section "Character devices".

If you have an kernel 2.2 you additionally have to set the option -p at the halt command in the script /sbin/init.d/halt.

                command="halt -p"
