[Bug 9185] Re: System doesn't power off with ACPI

[Richard T. Bumby]

I have an Intel 845EBG2 board.  The power button and other shutdown
methods using ACPI have been working with Fedora Core 3, but I have not
been able to complete the installation of Ubuntu 6.06.  Everything has
been copied to the disk, but the install process stopped at about the
80% point when intiallizing "power" (I don't have the exact message
handy).  Also, when I tried to shut down from the live desktop prior to
attempting the install, the screen went blank but didn't power off.

Since I will need to continue using Fedora for current work until I get
up to speed with Ubuntu, I hope to start Ubuntu from my existing grub
bootloader.  Configuration advice and request for test will be welcome.
