I use Slackware 10.2 and current with different kernel of 2.6 branch.
I've got a Pentium 4 3200 with mobo GigaByte 8AECXPD i925XE.
In both these cases, I'm not able to shut down my pc,
but if and ONLY IF I use KDE. With other DE or if I use
only the console, it works fine. But, if I enter in KDE,
when I try to shut down my pc, I receive the message:
"Power down. Acpi_power_off called" and it's possibile
to turn the pc off only turnin' off the elettricity too.
The on/off button doesn't work. Any idea?

Thanx
M.

From what I know, all the DE's shutdown by switching to runlevel 0.
I don't know why KDE would behave differently.
Perhaps you should inspect the output of 'dmesg' and 'lsmod' when you run
KDE and when you run some other DE?

dmesg shows me only the booting process.
Is there a way to see anything similar,
referred to KDE?

dmesg shows much more than booting process, that's when it starts.

Inspect /var/log/messages on reboot, to see how the last shutdown
performed.

After a lot of investigations and recompilations of kernel,
finally I discovered the cause of this trouble. The origin of all
is the module hda_intel, for my sound card. If it's disabled,
the pc shuts down correctly. If loaded, the pc doesn't halt.
I don't know if this is due to alsa modules or to KDE, but,
in any case, I've no problems If I use other DE as Fluxbox
or I work in console. So, IMHO, there must be something hurting
in the relationship between the audio management in KDE
and that module...
