Hello, Philip.

Thanks for the comment.

I tried acpi=off , and just resulted in appearing the message "ACPI disabled".
Also "acpi=power-off" didn't work.
So "power off" still not working for enterprise kernel.

But I found an alternative way.
Building the smallest kernel based on 2.4.27 and initrd.img based on busybox,
and set GRUB to load them by default.
And when I want to power off the PC, execute /sbin/reboot instead of /sbin/poweroff .
This results the PC reboot and "power off" immediately.

Thank you.
