From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.7.8-2 Description of problem: When trying to shutdown my computer, it failed to poweroff. With kernel-2.6.12-1.1411_FC5 my computer would not even boot. The last bootable kernel version and version that successfully shutdown was kernel-2.6.12-1.1400_FC5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1413_FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot kernel 2. use system 3. poweroff Actual Results: Booting worked for the latest version. The previous version hung while booting. The version before seemed to work acceptably. Expected Results: The earlier version should have booted. This version should have shutdown as well. Additional info: This problem is a bit better than the problem experienced with the latest FC4 version which would not boot either. The acpi poweroff problem is too familiar and was a problem seen during FC3 revisited.
Created attachment 116404 [details] Kernel startup log
Both the smp and the single processor kernels failed to poweroff. Included is dmesg from the last kernel that would power down properly.

*** Bug 160775 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
the last messages after 'shutdown -h now' with kernel-2.6.12-1.1426_FC5 are: 'unmounting file systems: Halting system ... md: stopping all md devices. md: md0 switched to read-only mode.' can someone tell me, where i can get the kernel-2.6.12-1.1400_FC5
You might try a kernel from FC4 and boot with it until FC5 gets a working kernel again. I have 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 installed and it works decent. Development appears to have 1432 in the repository. I have not tried it yet though. Keep the FC4 kernel and check the devel repo to see if one comes pout that works again. Use the --oldpackage option for rpm to *install* the older kernel version. Read man rpm to see the options for rpm.
problem still exists with kernel-2.6.12-1.1433_FC5.i686.rpm
kernel-2.6.12-1.1434_FC5 shuts down properly and seems to work quicker than 1400. (Not timed, but seems more responsive.)
kernel-2.6.12-1.1446_FC5 seems to print more messages, but power off fails again: Halting system ... md: md0 switched to read-only mode. ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:01.0 disabled ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.5 disabled
2.6.13 vanilla power-off works, see bug 160775
the problem still exists with 2.6.13 vanilla kernel, the kernel do not poweroff my machine with the MSI Board.
problem still exists with 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
problem still exists with kernel-2.6.14-1.1636_FC4.i686.rpm
a good day for peoples with the mSI MS-6758 (875P Neo) Board. With kernel-2.6.15-1.1823_FC4.i686.rpm the problem doesn't longer exists. 'shutdown -h now' works for me.
