What do these say:
dmesg |grep apm
dmesg |grep acpi
What do you have appended in /etc/lilo.conf?
I have an Intel AL440XL board and problems with power-off
If I use kernel 2.4.22 (Knoppix 3.3 and older) the PC turnes off after shut-down with
"halt" command.
By using kernel 2.4.23 (Knoppix 3.4 and newer) the PC don't power-off (also with bootoption noacpi or acpi=off)
- that's my problem.
I compared the APM sources but I can't find any differences.
The ACPI-Modul is not inserted.
Has anyone an idea where the reason is located?
I would like to use a newer Kernel and the PC should turn-off on halt.

dmesg | grep apm
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=Knx36_267_a7 ro

You can enable it with acpi=force
lilo.conf
append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=de
apm=power-off nomce"

apm -V

If your BIOS is acpi capable you could try removing the apm part from lilo.conf, run lilo -v to update it, and try booting with apm=off acpi=force
Have you tried updating the BIOS?
Thanks,
my BIOS is the last available version.
If I remove the apm-module and load acpi=force the computer don't also not power-off.
Hmm, if acpi loads successfully you could check the kernel-parameters.txt for it's options.
Sorry, but I don't know if the file comes with knoppix.
You could also try the noapic cheatcode.
Other than that, try disabling Power Management in the BIOS.
I have tried noapic, acpi=power_off/_on, own kernelbuilds (with the same configoptios for apm) etc.
If I use kernel 2.4.22 the PC turnes off after shut-down with "halt" command.
By using kernel 2.4.23 don't power-off - by using the same bootoptions.
I think I can't solve this problem - but I'm shure I will find any new problem.
Thank you.

Thank you,
I will try it. (I have an image of my partition!)
I have also got the tip to look at the makefiles.
But just I my PC is not available for me.
