Hi folks,
Sometimes when I run 'halt' my PC does not go off. Last
words are
acpi_power_off called
But the PC stays on.
What is the story here? I've seen this problem come up
several times, but without solution, as it seems. Any
hint would be very helpfull.
Many thanx
Harri

Does this happen all the time, or just some of the time?
Has this always failed on box X, or did it used to
work in some release Y, and broke in some release Z?
Please supply X, Y, Z.
thanks,

Hi Len,
The problem does not exist, if I boot my PC and then
halt it immediately. If I login and use it for some
time, then acpi_power_off does not work.
Box 'X' is an Aopen MZ-915M, CPU is a 2 GHz Pentium
M. It is running Debian Sid, kernel is vanilla
Linux bugs 2.6.17-rc4 #1 PREEMPT Sat May 13 16:22:54 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Old kernels don't work on this PC due to missing
hardware support. The first vanilla kernel that worked
reliably on this box (except for acpi_power_off) was 2.6.16.
Regards
Harri

Do you get any ACPI execution errors, etc. in the dmesg output after the
system has been running for a while? I've seen this happen after the
ACPI machinery gets into a bad state..

If you append a "3" to the cmdline and boot without a GUI,
does the system still halt properly (even after you log in
and use it for a while)? There may be some interaction
between X and the video hardware and system shutdown.

Nothing suspicious, as it seems. If I grep -i acpi in syslog, then I get:
