I have this same problem with a P4 using HT on FC1. When I use smp kernels the system will not power off. When I use non-smp kernels the system powers off as expected. This bug is also in the current FC2. It makes sense to assign this to fc2 since rh7.3 is not supported. This issue will only get more relevant as the popularity of hyperthreading and dual-core CPUs increases at the consumer level, IMHO. I have this problem too. My system is an dual-cpu AMD MP 1800 machine on a Tyan Tiger-MP motherboard. The system seems to shutdown properly, but does not powerdown at the end. In FC2, it does seem to "kick" something on my system, though, that stops the signal to the monitor (the monitor reports no signal), but the system is still powered on. In FC1, the system would shutdown to the "Power Down" message, but would not go any further. RH8 also never powered down this system. ditto... same problem for me fc1, dual athlon mp 1800 on tyan 2460 mb... My issue has been fixed for some time with updated FC2 kernels. My issue is now fixed with the update to the 2.6.9 FC2 kernel. I actually have this problem with the SMP 2.6.9-1.6_FC2, and I did *not* have it with the SMP 2.6.5-1.358. MSI 865 PE NEO2 PFISR board. P4 3.0 GHz. 1x 100 GB WD, 1x250 GB Hitachi (SATA). |
Description of Problem: Can't shutdown the system with power down. Using a SMP machine the power down step of the shutdown procedure is not working. ( I have tried this to two different SMP machine, both gave me the same results ). The system is closing all services, and printing on the screem the massage "Power Off", but doesn't do the power off. this problem cause our UPS to drain it's power till exhaust. we tried this with the default kernel that comes with the distribution and also by compiling the kernel. ( on a SMP machine according to the kernel documantation, the APM is disabled, if so, how one can powerdown the system ?) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.3 How Reproducible: We use the following Hardware : Dell - PowerEdge 4400 ( Dual Xeon ) PC based of ASUS-CUV4X-DLS board ( Dual Pentium III ). Use any SMP, type '>dmesg | grep APM', will show that the APM is disabled for SMP machine. then, try to execute the command '>halt -p'. Steps to Reproduce: 1. SMP machine, with an SMP kernel. 2. >halt -p 3. Actual Results: Power stay on, and screen shows the message "Power Off". Expected Results: Killing the power of the machine. an attached UPS should read ~0% load. Additional Information: We installed Win2K with a multiprocessor support, and the Windows was able to shutdown the system with the power completely down.
