Yes, thank you, Would you mind to completely disable processor frequency scaling and check whether the powerdown problem goes away on your system as well? I do not know which distro you are using, but on some systems "chkconfig cpuspeed off; reboot" would do the job. When the system then reboots, "halt" should correctly power off the system. -Carsten. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
