Hi,
With 2.4.22, my Sony Vaio PCG-Z600TEK (s/600/505/ in US/JP) shows a regression
w.r.t. power management:
- It doesn't poweroff anymore (screen contents are still there after the
powering down message)
- It doesn't reboot anymore (screen goes black, though)
- It accidentally suspended to RAM once while I was actively working on it (I
never managed to get suspend working, except for this `accident'). I didn't
see any messages about this in the kernel log.
Relevant config options for 2.4.22:
| tux$ grep acpi .config
| # ACPI Support
| CONFIG_ACPI=y
| # CONFIG_ACPI_HT_ONLY is not set
| CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
| # CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
| # CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set
| CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y
| # CONFIG_ACPI_RELAXED_AML is not set
| tux$
Relevant config options for 2.4.21, which does poweroff/reboot without
problems:
| tux$ grep acpi .config
| # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI is not set
| CONFIG_ACPI=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_BUSMGR=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_SYS=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_CPU=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_CMBATT=y
| CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
| tux$
If you need more information or want me to ttry something, please ask!
Thanks!

Are you able to reboot without acpi?

It suspended to RAM... Did it also *resume* correctly?

Yes, since I could continue working without problems (except for lost Ethernet,
solved by ifdown -a/ifup -a).

And was that acpi or apm? If it was acpi you saw a little miracle.

ACPI.
BTW, I just started to see other weird things that may be related to ACPI, but
aren't related to Linux (machine powers down 1 second after power up, etc.),
but now it's fine again (running 2.4.21).

I have seen similar crazy stuff (like hard crash with power LED going
both green *and* red on OS boot (any OS, even w98) after poweron.
Only cure was to unplug it and remove battery. Seeing crash
where 4-sec-power no longer worked was pretty common...
ACPI tends to provoke rather weird hw problems.

If I turn off CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC I get:
| ACPI disabled because your bios is from 00 and too old
| You can enable it with acpi=force
| Sony Vaio laptop detected.
and ACPI is disabled. Halt doesn't work.
If I then pass `acpi=force' to explicitly enable ACPI, `halt' works again and
powers off the machine, but `reboot' causes a black screen with IDE disk spun
down, but no restart.

Strangely, the problem you describe here what I got with local APIC enabled,
on a Vaio PCG-FX705 (athlon 1.3G). I think I will retry with a recent kernel
to be sure these problems vanished.

My PIII 650 with 2000 BIOS boots linux with acpi disabled for the same reason,
unless force ACPI support. It reboots fine with ACPI forced. The ACPI support
of this Intel BX mobo is good, so this is a false negative IMHO. (I wonder if
the check is correct, shouldn't it say 2000 instead of 00 ?)

If year < 90 it adds 2000 so that's OK. But the code needs ACPI from 2001 or
more recent, so my BIOS from 2000 fails...

If acpi is actually usefull there, we might want to whitelist it.
Try other reboot methods...
