other things i've noted
with acpi off, win2k, system will shutdown to the
safe to turn off screen
with acpi on, it will shut down all the way, but interrupts in the OS while running.
also, check out gizmo at
www.grc.com
it's windowz tool, but read through what it can do about system shutdown
now, last week, we tested the UPS, and the two attached computers started to shutdown after a time, which is good.
they shut down all the way to the
safe to turn off
screen, which is a total crock of crap and waste of time.
with the UPS battery fast running out during the "power outage" what's the point of leafivng the systems running.
in gizmo, you can shutdown to the safe to trun off screen
and you can shutdown all the way to power off
so it 'might' be something in your kernel, perhaps the two shutdowns you have done, are done from a different line of code in the kernel
and maybe done with a different syntax
one shuts down
one shuts off
kapich ?
