Hi!
I'm seeing bad problem with N620c notebook (and have reports of more
machines behaving like this, for example ASUS L8400C.) If I shutdown
machine with lid closed, opening lid will power the machine up. Ouch.
2.6.7 behaves okay.
Ouch, acpi=off makes it even worse [2.6.9-rc3, N620c]. I get some very
strange show on the leds (battery charge led blinks fast?!), then
machine powers up itself. This happens even with lid initially
open. 2.6.7 works as expected.
Any ideas?

Many today claim to be tolerant. True tolerance, however, can cope with others
being intolerant.
Pavel,
Thanks for your report. I have some suggestions to identify your
problem and help ACPI developers to work more effectively.
The developers are working both fixing ACPI related bugs and applying
work around for bad BIOS behaviors. At this time I think fixing
bugs is more important than applying work around.
So if your problem on some machine is so serious, could you please
give us the BIOS version and whether the machine suspend/resume is
OK in ACPI mode of Windows 2000/XP too? Of course DSDT table check
is highly helpful. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ is prepared for such
purpose.
I believe such details help the developers to avoid spending much
time to rescue desperate BIOS and to keep tight release schedule.

I was not talking about suspend/resume here, it wakes up even after
plain /sbin/shutdown -h now. I do not have Windows here to try, but it
works well in 2.6.7...

This problem sounds like a wake GPE is enabled for the lid switch and
that it has a _PRW that indicates it can wake the system from S5. If
this is the case, just disabled the GPE.

This is likely a similar GPE problem. The GPE for the EC fires even in
S5. I think the EC GPE should be disabled in the suspend method.

:-). Well for some other people it powers up when they unplug AC
power, and *that* is nasty. I'd like my machine to stay powered down
when I tell it so.

It could be the wakeup GPE issue, but must note Pavel's system suffer
the problem even with acpi=off. Could you please try boot your system
with acpi=off, and then reboot with acpi=off, what's the result? I
expected the wakeup GPE is disabled by the BIOS in this case.
Anyway, the DSDT can tell us the wakeup GPE info.
Thanks,
Shaohua

I tried disabling all events in /proc/acpi/wakeup, and that did not
change anything.

How did this hangling changed between 2.6.7 and 2.6.9?

You want me to boot with acpi=off twice and see if machine powers down
okay in second case?
Compressed DSDT is attached.

Yes, indeed.

The dmesg shows your system can be waked up by Lid from S4 but not S5.
But there is another device (looks like the LPC bridge) can wakeup your
system from S5.

Okay, I did poweron, boot with acpi=off, reboot (again with acpi=off),
then shutdown -h now. I got the same strange lightshow at the leds and
reboot instead of powerdown.
