what a pain that sound set up was... Got ALSA for it... sure, it fixed it, but wow that took alot of typing to make it happen! Bang Head

Now my only issue is that it doesn't power off when I shut down... Just sits there with some ACPI message that makes it seem like it thinks it is powering off.

The last few lines of the shutdown sequence, where it just hangs until you hard power it off...

Power down.

And there it will sit.

Unfortunatly, not all companies implement ACPI in the same way, and the devs that write the code are often not able to get the docs they need for everything to work properly.
You could try a newer kernel, or you could pass a no acpi option to the kernel at boot time.

I think I have the latest kernel here ... 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL (while the server is rocking 2.4.21-32.ELsmp).

But, how would I go about passing the no ACPI? Thanks!

Grub is pretty new to me, so don't quote me on this.
I think you need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an option like acpi=off. I would add a second entry for a failsafe, and not add this to the main boot entry, just in case.

example:

Code:

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386 No ACPI
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hde1 ro quiet acpi=off splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386
savedefault
boot


But definitly google whats above, I'm not totally sure it's right.
