I have a COMPAQ presario 1247 [yuk!] That HAD to be liberated to a better OS, such as LINUX. It runs fine except it will not completely shut down when I log out. The display goes off but HDD is still spinnin'. I have to yank out battery or power cable to shut it off. I went into BIOS and disabled the power management. There is no option in the BIOS to shut down computer after OS closes. Any suggestions? bob
