Odd ACPI shutdown and power off issue
I'm using 6.2-R on a Dell PE400SC. I recently enabled Remote Wake Up (Wake on LAN) in BIOS. Sending a magic packet to the powered down PC will power it up and it boots normally. However, now if I attempt a shutdown and power off using halt -p or shutdown -p now I get a reboot. Disabling Remote Wake Up reverts back to the expected behavior. I've searched and found the sysctl knob hw.acpi.disable_on_poweroff as a possible solution, but sysctl gives me unknown oid. Any ideas? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's likely that the ACPI implementation of your BIOS has its own quirks that have not been taken into account for in the FreeBSD ACPI implementation. I would suggest upgrading to the latest BIOS if you are not already there. Because I'm having a hard time turning my computer back on whenever I presses the power button during a reboot by Freebsd and I would have to turn the power on and off for quite some times just to be able to boot it to normal again. Not sure I fully understand here. But, if I'm reading this correctly as: I have problems turning my computer back on after issuing a 'shutdown -p now' I would suggest instead of trying a bunch of times turning the machine on and off, hold the power button in for 5 seconds, and then power on. Holding the power button in for 5 seconds _forces_ the system to shut off in all but the most extreme cases of failures. Your system may have become unresponsive after the 'shutdown -p now'...

FreeBSD ACPI shutdown -p fails on my Motherboard
Good day, I have an old Jetway Motherboard(830 CH) together with AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz. It's currently running FreeBSD 5.3. The ACPI is already enabled in BIOS but whenever I shutdown -p now, the computer doesn't totally goes off at all, it just reboots itself. I'm thinking that the APCI interface of FreeBSD with my particular motherboard is not working very well(it works well in my office workstation). Do you know any kernel tweek that can help me get around with this situation. Because I'm having a hard time turning my computer back on whenever I presses the power button during a reboot by Freebsd and I would have to turn the power on and off for quite some times just to be able to boot it to normal again. __ Do you Yahoo!?
