Re: won't shut down: "acpi_power_off called"

[Luke Reeves]

My system periodically does this too; it's a Sony PCG-TR2 with ACPI and 
no APM bios.  Every one out of ten shutdowns, the system halts and just 
sits there with that message.

I'm pretty sure it's a kernel bug since ACPI is still flaky.  The kernel 
I'm using is 2.6.5.  You might want to check out the later 2.6.6-rc1 
kernel and see if anything changes.

When I go to turn off the machine, it goes through all the screen messages as 
usual, but won't turn off. (Need to hold in power switch for 5 seconds to 
turn off.)
The last two lines of messages are here:

Power down.
acpi_power_off called
It has a American megatrends bios,
and the settings are like this:
ACPI Standby state - auto       
Power Management/APM - enabled
I have googled for this and came up with the problem, but no solution.
Thanks!
