did a search @ linuxquestions.org, nothing definitive other that it is probably and apm or acpi issue

just for kicks, disable acpi or apm or both in your BIOS and see what happens

also, do lsmod, Id like to see what modules are loaded
 
Here is the output of the lsmod command:

I couldn't find how to disable apm in BIOS. All I could find was
Power Management Setup -> ACPI Suspend Type -> it was set to S1 (POS), I changed it to S3
but nothing changed (I still can't shutdown normally).
I have no idea what any of this means... Should I change it back to S1 (I mean, since it didn't do anything)?

Thanks for your time.

P.S. You know, I was of course ready to encounter various problems and issues when I decided to start using Slack, but shutting down was not something I thought I'd have a problem with. :)
 
the apm module is loaded
see if there's an option in the BIOS for power management to just turn it off, otherwise put it back@S1

ok, maybe try this, as root:
modprobe -r apm

then try a shutdown, that will unload the apm module from the kernel, it might avoid this hangup but may require you to actually kill the power off manually instead of a "soft" shutdown(where it just turns itself off).......not sure how much the apm does.......I always thought it was mostly for some of the laptop power features
 
Looks like your motherboard doesn't support apm, and as you can't find any apm options in BIOS further supports this, however it looks like acpi is supported so you should either install the bareacpi.i kernel from disc 1, or if your feeling brave compile your own kernel. I'm not sure if the 2.6 test kernel slackware provides has apm support compiled in, but if it has than thats another option
 
Thank you all for your advice.
I will try to install the bareacpi.i kernel when I find the time, and I will post here to say if this solved the problem.
