some additional info: - apparently, i was wrong, in that rh80 exhibits this problem as well - bios upgrade from a02 to a05 (current, as far as i can tell) apparently doesn't help either hello? anyone notice this? this problem isn't the end of the world, but acknowledgement of the bug report's existence would be nice. Same thing here. PC will not power off. acpi=off doesn't help apm=power-off doesn't help APM has never shut this board down in the past though. The only way I've been able to "poweroff" this PC is to compile my own kernel and strictly use ACPI. I do not like doing this because I continue to get flack when I submit bug reports. I am constantly told that before they will take the bug seriously I have to run a default kernel (which I would if it would poweroff). I mentioned this problem when I was using RH 8, but it was marked as a duplicate of 82123, which is Described: ------------ This is a meta-bug which contains all known ACPI bugs that were new in phoebe public beta 1. These bugs originated because Red Hat turned on ACPI by default, which was a change in behavior. Typical observed problems include oops's on boot, failing to poweroff, and similar issues. ------------ In my opinion maybe the default kernel has an acpi bug or is missing something in the acpi setup?? I'm using the SOYO Dragon motherboard. "apm: BIOS not found" -> you're out of luck wrt automatic powering off. The RHL9 kernel does not contain ACPI (the amount of bugs in the other report mentioned shows the reason for that); it does mean however that machines that have no APM at all will not power off automatically. |
