Is there a good source of information about how Linux distributions and installers identify and interact with the hardware devices in a system?? We are particularly interested in the shutdown process that leads to complete power-off.? Thanks.

The only hardware thing that might conflict with that is a BIOS setting, that offers the option, on powerloss, of restart/stay off/last state. mark
