Mandrrake 9.0- can't shut down.

[cameroth]

I recently installed Mandrake Linux 9.0 on my old 533mhz compaq computer, and everything works great except for one thing. When I try to shut down my computer, it says "shutting down" and goes through the check list, then at the bottom it says shutting down, and my computer does the beeuewwww noise like it's shutting down- except it's still on. Any ideas? I'll be happy to give you any other information that you need. Thanks.

is it not asking you to power down? On my mandrake after typing

shutdown now -h


it kills all the apps then asks me to power down.

i don't type shutdown-h, i just click the shutdown button after clicking logout. I don't know if there is a difference, but I'll try it. Thanks.
