Re: halt -p not powering down Sony Vaio (13 Feb snapshot)

Try "sysctl -w machdep.apmhalt=1" before of "halt -p". I don't know if is correct or not, but /etc/sysctl.conf suggests this setting. Good luck :) -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info

halt -p not powering down Sony Vaio (13 Feb snapshot)

2012-02-20 Thread eagirard
halt -p clears the screen, quiets the disk, but the cpu fan runs on, the screen stays lit and the power light stays on. For hours. Have to mash the power button for aound 8 seconds to get it really shut off. apmd is enabled in rc.conf.local. Messages extract next paragraph. Dmesg below sig. Feb
