I cannot get my laptop to power down when I do a "Halt" or a shutdown. I
am running Red Hat 7.0

I had this problem out of the box in 5.2 and then not in 6.1. Does
anyone know what the fix for this is/

regards,
Kaushik

I also found this problem with RedHat 7.0. I think the "halt"
script has a problem, my fix to /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt is:
===
...
HALTARGS="-i -d"
if [ -f /poweroff -o ! -f /halt ]; then
HALTARGS="$HALTARGS -p"
fi

# try to fix flakey poweroff
#eval $command $HALTARGS
eval $command -i -d -p
===
This was found by trial and error, I'm not sure exactly what it
fixes.
