Subject: acpi_power_off issue in 2.6.10-rc2-mm1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


Greetings,

In 2.6.10-rc2 and previous kernels acpi_power_off allways worked fine, but in
2.6.10-rc2-mm1 when I do 'halt' all runs fine, the last message "acpi_power_off
called. System is going to power off" (something like this, I don't recall
^-^;) appears, but then the machine just doesn't power off.

This is happening with an ASUS M3N laptop, I guess that it's a problem
somewhere in
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10-rc2/2.6.10-rc2-mm1/broken-out/bk-acpi.patch
When I get some time I'll take a deeper look into it...

This one has been around for a while. It's been plagueing me since 2.6.8,
though its interesting that you only see it happening recently.

My attempts to debug it led to the bug disappearing when I added
instrumentation to the kernel. On my Compaq Evo, it does power off
eventually, though it takes about a minute after that last
acpi_power_off message.

There are bugs open on this in bugme.osdl.org, and bugzilla.redhat.com

I'm having the same problem with 2.6.10-rc2-mm1. I did not have the
problem with 2.6.10-rc1-mm5 and earlier as I remember. Will look into it.

Funny, I encountered this problem on two Computers having an SIS
K7S5A[PRO] mainboard on

Linux zappa 2.6.10-rc1-mm5 #2 Sat Nov 13 17:17:40 CET 2004 i686
GNU/Linux

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 735 Host (rev
01)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual
PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP)
0000:00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS85C503/5513
(LPC Bridge)

The systems shuts down and spins the hdds off. But the "main" power
goes not down.
