package: acpid severity: important version: 1.0.4-5 <h01ger> hi. this morning my computer, running 2.6.21-2-686 on etch, suddenly shutdown (powered off, due to being to hot), causing data loss.
* h01ger is pleased by debian protecting his hardware. but i'm not pleased by destroying my work doing so! ;) <h01ger> and according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/113926 "/sbin/poweroff" is hardcoded into the termal driver, so when the notebook gets to hot, it powers off (instead of suspending...) I hope in 2.6.23 this becomes a configuration option and the guys on #debian-kernel told me to file a bug against acpid. suspend2disk is more or less as fast as shutdown, and suspend2ram is even faster. If those exist, they should be used, instead of poweroff. Thanks. regards, Holger
