shutdown is to shutdown the PC.

-h is the halt action parameter
P is to set the halt action to Power down

I already added following lines to the menu.lst file of grub. Is that the problem? Before I added this line shutdown halted and showed the CLI

acpi=off apm=power_off

Why did you turn off acpi and apm ? is there a problem ?
Also did the shutdown command work ?

 

[asiridol]

you turn off acpi and apm only if the kernel has problems with the mobo.
if that's the case shutdown may not work properly. After you get the blank screen and HDD stops, just power down from the switch.
Also better try a kernel upgrade or a different distro that fully supports your mobo.

 

[asiridol]

but it worked fine before. dont know what happened suddenly

after editing the grub, did you reboot ?

 

[asiridol]

yep

 

[kosandpol]

yep

you seem to have a mobo - kernel incompatibility
Try Fedora on that PC.

 

[asiridol]

after I reverted grub menu.lst file hdd is not stopping

you definitely have a mobo-kernel incompatibility.
BTW, are you running Ubuntu ? its known to have acpi and apm related issues with the .04 releases.

 

[asiridol]

yeah man. i am on ubuntu 9.04 shit. can't understand what went wrong

 

[kosandpol]

yeah man. i am on ubuntu 9.04 shit. can't understand what went wrong

try the Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).
Its still in alpha stage but it might fix your issues. its on 2.6.30 kernel.

hehe Ubuntu 9.04 is a piece of shit , this is couz of their famous April failer (8.04 is also sux, next 9.10 will be better)

you better switch for an another distro. I'm totally switched for Fedora/slackware (well SLW is lyk හොර ගෑනි) couz dis shitty Ubuntu

if you r looking for useability . try new Mint (7)Gloria i heard its better
