If I exit xorg and go to a console, then the shutdown command works fine. My problem seems to be xorg/kernel related. I suspect IRQ management by the new kernel and have been squeezing my brain to remember if I enabled any modules dealing with IRQ, but can't recall. I haven't yet built a vanilla kernel to compare. -- Regards, Mick

When using shutdown -h now in command line, there is no response from machine. When shutting down using xfce4 icon machines returns to login screen. No messages are produced in system log other than shutdown. I use nvidia-drivers on my laptop and have had no problem until upgrading to latest kernel 2.6.29-gentoo-r5. Assume I am missing something in kernel config but everything else works ok. Init 0 does nothing either so maybe there is a clue there John D Maunder j...@articwolf.myzen.co.uk

When I use the KDE4 menu to exit, the system seems to halt, but the mobo is still powered up. Upon reboot reiserfs fixes itself (hard reset). If I use "shutdown -h now" all is fine. Otherwise the system is fine. I just assumed it was a kde4 problem, but, I have not drilled down further to locate the exact problem source. Between needing to reduce or eliminate xorg.conf and evdev, hal , kde4 and new kernels, I've definitely missed the boat. as I manage dozens of gentoo boxes. Anyway, I'll track it down eventually. Here's my info, in case it is similar to yours and hopefully helps you find the problem: kernel: 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6(20:59:56 05/25/09)((hal input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics nptl sdl video_cards_radeon xorg and from make.conf: VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick evdev" I did switch the system from the radeon driver to x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.5.9.3 I noticed my "radeon" entry in my xorg-server flags..(problem)...? I'm not sure my problem is related to your, I hope posting here helps you solve your problem. Once yours is solved, it might give me feedback as to where to begin my search... HTH, James
