Description m. bracher 2007-01-01 15:02:59 UTC 
OS: System upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2
Hadware: Laptop IBM T40
Boot-options: acpi=off apm=on
(using acpi is not an option, because susp-to-ram consumes approx. 10W, with apm 1.5W)

init 0 does not power-off the laptop 
(with Suse 10.1 it worked)

Please attach your /var/log/messages.
Comment 2 m. bracher 2007-01-04 22:57:51 UTC 
Additional info:
On the screen, at the end you can see something like:
umount proc
The system will be (stopped/powerded off/halted/???) immediately
  --> then nothing happens, system still running 

Maybe it is related to bug 231215

Comment 3 Matej Horvath 2007-01-05 13:00:18 UTC 
Could you please try to change the boot apm parameter to apm=power_off and report if you are successful? 

It seems to be a duplicate of the bug 221667
Comment 4 m. bracher 2007-01-07 09:25:36 UTC 
Yes, that works.

In the above mentioned bug it is proposed to fix it via installer/boot-option.
I think, that's the wrong way. Most people want to power off the machine, so the default should be to power off, and the few people that don't want to power off can set an option like apm=no_power_off ?!
It is not very user friendly to have longer and longer kernel parameter lines.
