Hello, some of you may remember a posting of mine here from March, 2012, in which I mentioned that the ACPI buttonpress event is not being correctly transmitted form a debian 6 host to an OpenBSD v5.1 guest.
In the meantime I've installed a OBSD v5.2 system which exhibits exactly the same behavior -- the guest hangs (freezes) instantly and totally. I've seen similar posts in the past which yielded replies mostly to the effect of "OpenBSD's implementation is clean, Linux must be the bad guy". I'm not interested in assigning blame, or seeing it assigned. I'd simply like to see the problem solved, somehow. Would a developer be willing to have a look, if I set up a v5.2 sandbox on the debian host? cheers, Robert Urban --- original message --- Hello, I'm trying to get a v5.0 system newly installed in a VM running on Debian v6 am64 (squeeze) to respond properly when I execute "virsh shutdown GUEST", which apparently sends an ACPI power-button-press event to the guest. I have acpi configured for the guest. Currently, when I run the command, the guest hangs totally. All interactive sessions, including console are frozen, and the guest stops answering pings. It's not clear from the acpi(4) manpage what mechanism is/should be invoked for this event, and what can be, or must be, configured for it to work. thanks, Robert Urban
