Hi group, Here's a switch: a computer that refuses to turn OFF. When I open a root console and enter shutdown -h now my eee 900A Asus Intel-n270 freezes with the message:
The system is going down for a system halt NOW! Looking at ctrl alt F12, after the usual, normal messages there is this: <...> :mtrr:no MTRR for d0000000,10000000 found :cpufreqd: term_handler :Caught TERM signal (Terminated), forcing exit. and at ctrl alt F7 I see: <...> *Stopping CPU Frequency Daemon ... [ok] *Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ... [ok] *Killing processes using ALSA ... [ok] *Unloading ALSA modules ... [ok] This happened yesterday too when I clicked the 'quit' button on the Xfce4 desktop, so I tried it manually from a console to see if it would make any difference. Not a bit of it. Now I have to hold down the off/on button and pray the SSD doesn't croak when I reboot. Very scary messages about non-contiguous files and a forced reboot. FWIW this only started after installing alsa-utils and configuring the sound card(Intel 82801G) according to alsa-guide.xml
