Re: Shutdown problem Stray IRQ9

2007-01-06 Thread Zoran Kolic
 In comparison, you can search for stray irq7 and see that
 others have seen this message on certain boards where the
 LPT/printer port has been disabled in the BIOS, but lpt
 support is enabled in FreeBSD.  (What I'm trying to say is
 that the stray irq stuff stems from what I described in
 the above paragraph.

Hm! My Compaq laptop 9020 has no paralel port.
In the kernel I removed all lines regarding it.
I still have irq7 messages in console. They are
benign, no hang. Intel; could be some controler
wants to hallo, I'm here!.

Some BIOSes need full atention. If original poster
has motherboard book, he could tweak over options.
I recall an issue prior to remove apic on nforce3
mobo.

Shutdown problem Stray IRQ9

2007-01-05 Thread vincent delft
As new to FreeBSD I'm looking for info to solve my
shutdown problem.

When I shutdown the system (shutdown -h now), the
messages displayed are:

No buffers busy after final sync
Uptime: 1h3m35s
Shutting down ACPI
stray irq9

then hang ;-(.


I've google a bit on stray irq9 and found several
mails where people says that this is a known problem,
or saying that we should don't care about this, ...

What's the current status ? (parameters, options,
patches, ...)
Could I let this like that ? 

I'm on a ECS K7S5A with FBSD-6.1-Stable.

Thanks.

PS:
On the same machine, my gentoo can shutdown correctly.
Thus I would conclude that this is not HW related.

I've seen this problem on different machines with different
hardware.  I don't think it's a hardware problem, though -- I
think it's more along the lines of either an interrupt routing
problem, or possibly an SMP issue.  This is all pure hearsay on
my part, but it's the only thing that stands out.

I'll add that I have an Asus A8N-E (nForce chipset, AMD CPU)
board that exhibits the above behaviour, but _does not_ print
the stray irq9 bit.  halt and shutdown -h simply hang
after shutting down ACPI; there is no Press enter to reboot
message, and the keyboard handler appears locked up too.

If a developer wants one of these motherboards (no CPU or
RAM or other stuff though :) ), I can ship one out for free.
I have a working spare.

 I've google a bit on stray irq9 and found several
 mails where people says that this is a known problem,

I've seen this message mainly on Intel chipset boards.  I
believe IRQ 9 is commonly assigned by the BIOS to ACPI
functionality.  I believe what's happening (again, hearsay)
is that FreeBSD shuts down ACPI capability, and the interrupt
handler reports that nothing is tied to IRQ 9 any more.

In comparison, you can search for stray irq7 and see that
others have seen this message on certain boards where the
LPT/printer port has been disabled in the BIOS, but lpt
support is enabled in FreeBSD.  (What I'm trying to say is

I agree.

I think shutdown -h should just hang (always has on my amd64
machine). I think you want to do 

shutdown -p 

which should (and does for me) turn off power.
