RE: [gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

2007-06-03 Thread Richard Marz
halt -dp worked for me...never tried it before. Now, I did do a couple
of things. I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.20r8 and set the acpi=force
kernel parameter. I don't know whether the acpi=force paramenter fixed
the problem. I did see the gentoo shutdown.sh script (which you can view
at the bottom of this message) and it seems to call the halt command
with the options -dp. This means that before the same halt -dp was being
used and the system did not shutdown properly. Now I manually enter the
halt -dp command and it works flawlessly. So, maybe it was the kernel
upgrade or the acpi=force kernel parameter that is causing it to work.

/sbin/halt ${opts}

# hmm, if the above failed, that's kind of odd ...
# so let's force a halt
/sbin/halt -f

  No. But, I will try it now. I'll let you know if it works in 
  a few minutes because I'm downloading the latests kernel

 If shutodwn -h now -P doesn't work, try

Have you tried:

# shutdown -h now -P

?

Naturally this may not work for you but I use this one under APM:

 [*]   Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off

I have video turned on under ACPI but I have no clue why.  :/This is
my kernel version:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # uname -r
 2.6.18-gentoo-r6
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] / #

Hope that helps, maybe.  LOL

It seems to be giving me the same behaviour as shutdown -h now.

My Bios is up to date. It's not the BIOS. Shutdown has been confirmed to
work with linux and freebsd kernels on my machine in the past.
