Description of problem:
After changing from a 2.53 GHz PIV CPU w/o HT to a 3.0 GHz PIV CPU w/
HT  and the SMP kernel my system won't power down anymore correctly. 
I can hear the at least the HDD spins down after the "Power down."
kernel message the rest of the system is still running.

Mainboard is a Gigabyte 8KNXP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i686.rpm 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a SMP kernel and a PIV HT CPU
2. shutdown the system
3. --> system does not power off

I have the same problem: it gets all the way to the end of shutdown
and then doesn't actually turn off the power.  I'm using a P4 2.4CGHz
with HT turned on.  Motherboard is an Intel D875PBZ.  I'm running
plain FC1 with vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp.

Comment 2 Bernd Bartmann 2003-12-03 21:24:35 UTC
After adding "apm=power-off" to the kernel line in
/boot/grub/grub.conf the system powers down correctly.

The new errata kernel 2.4.22-1.2129.nptlsmp behaves exactly in the
same way. The system will not power down without "apm=power-off". I
thought this had been fixed after reading the changelog for the new
kernel.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
