From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030704 Description of problem: The ACPI power-off function does not power down my Abit VP6-based system. (It does seem to shut down some of the hardware, however, because the system requires a power cycle to reboot.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl 2. shutdown -h now 3. Actual Results: System does not power down; power cycle required to reboot. Expected Results: System should power down. Additional info:
There is a patch for power off issue on some platforms, would you have it a try. please reference http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1141 to get it.
I have rebuilt the Severn kernel RPM with the suggested patch. It does not completely solve the problem, although it may have made it less frequent. (The system has successfully powered off 2 of the 3 times I have tried with the patched kernel.)
Does poweroff still fail on this Abit with a recent kernel?
I have given up on getting ACPI (and the I/O APIC) to work on this board with a recent kernel. Feel free to close this.
