turn off on halt

[linedpaper]

Hey, my mandrake box turns off when it finishes with the halt command. How come my gentoo boxes don't? What do I need to do for this to happen. They both turn off when I shutdown windows. They both have atx power supplies.

Thanks,
Tim

its when you build your kernel. Do some research on apm and acpi

You have to enable power management support in you kernel.
Enabling these options has worked for me.
