From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: After calling /sbin/poweroff the machine goes to runlevel 6, it stops all services and disks and then halts. The last message on the screen is: acpi_poweroff_called. Machine waits in this state until the power off button is pressed. The strange thing about this is, that the problem occurred after updating kernel package from 2.6.8-xxxx to current release (2.6.9-1.649). My machine is ASUS M2400N laptop. (Intel Centrino 1.3Ghz) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.649 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./sbin/poweroff 2. 3. Additional info:
Seems to be related to bug acpi_power_off (bug 132761)
