Subject: ACPI Blacklist question
| Hello,
|
| I'm not sure whether I should have posted this to questions or current (since
| it's an issue with a recent current) or some other list, but hear me out and
| perhaps point me in the right direction?
|
| I recently upgraded a play about box from an older current to one .. a day
| before the preemption issues arose. All is well, except I found the box would
no
| longer shutdown automatically using shutdown -p and hitting the power button
| would just put the box into a sort of suspend or sleep state.
|
| Well, just now I looked at dmesg and came across this message "ACPI disabled
by
| blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor.".. I believe this is most likely the
| cause. I can't remember exactly what BIOS or motherboard is in there but I can
| have a look if that is needed. Can anyone tell me why it's been blacklisted
I meant why it MIGHT have been blacklisted, oops!
| anyway? I didn't used to have any problems with it at all on the older
CURRENT.
| In fact I was quite impressed that I could turn it off, cleanly, by just
hitting
| the power button! I'll mess around and see if I can get ACPI loaded anyway
| somehow and see if there's any ill effects with it.
I set hint.acpi.0.disabled="0" in /boot/device.hints and it seems fine, just
like with the previous current. It shutdown via the power button and switches
off automatically again anyway :-)
|
| Well anyway, thanks in advance!
