poweroff jumps to OBP instead of powering off
Hi, if i type poweroff on the console, the systems shutdown and then jumps into the OPB instead of powering off. It's Netra t1 105. this happens with recent kernels in etch. I think its related to [1] if (auxio_power_register && !serial_console) in arch/sparc/kernel/process.c if (!serial_console) in arch/sparc64/kernel/power.c. Any hints? Is there already a sysctl option from kernel.org implemented? Or should we patch the kernel in debian? Any comments?
