Dear LMKL users,
I'm experiencing a problem with ACPI and it's ability to shutdown the machine. I'm
currently using Debian GNU/Linux with the 2.6.3 kernel. Before I go on, if this is
the wrong type of material to post on this list, I apologize in advance. Kindly state
what I'm doing wrong and I will not make the same mistake.
The following information is about my mobo and BIOS:
Award Modular BIOS v6.0
04/29/2002 - SiS745
ASUS A7S333 ACPI BIOS rv 1006
When I run the shutdown command, the last thing I see is the following:
Power Down
acpi_power_off called
hwsleep_0265 [24] acpi_enter_sleep_state: Entering sleep state [S5]
Here is a result of 'grep -i acpi /var/log/kern.log'. After looking at the output, I
realized that there was a pattern. I am pasting all the lines that aren't repetitious.

This is just the output of dmesg:

I am using the testing release of Debian along with acpid version 1.0.3-2. The funny
thing is, I have used Fedora Core 1 and even Windows 2000 with ACPI and have been
able to shutdown the machine without any problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you boot with the "nolapic" option, does the machine poweroff correctly
then?
(This is the case on my Thinkpad T41 - 2.6.x doesn't powerdown unless I
boot with "nolapic")

I tried this last night. No success.

Bruce,
This failure is common on some laptops (except min;-(
and seems to have bubbled to near the top of the priority list.
[email protected] is the right place to discuss,
and this bug report is the right place to stash the info:

thanks,
