Automatic power off after shutdown

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.3

Request:

Your computer supports Advanced Power Management (APM). You would like SuSE Linux to automtically power off after shutdown.

Procedure:

Since SuSE Linux 6.3 a kernel binary which supports APM is provided.

You can install this kernel even after you installed SuSE Linux. To do so, start Yast, and then go to the following menu:

System administration -> Kernel and boot configuration -> Select boot kernel

Select in the then appearing list "Kernel with APM-support". Answer the question

The file /usr/src/linux/.config already exists!
Do you want to overwrite it?
with "Yes". the selected kernel will now be installed. In order to be able to boot with it, also say "Yes" in the next dialogue (LILO).

After the next reboot the new (APM supporting) kernel is active, and your system will power off when you shutdown the system from now on.
