Thanks to Andrew: Subject: Re: ABIT IC7-G Power Off Issue From: Andrew Schulman Newsgroups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 19:59:16 -0400 > After executing: shutdown -i 0 -g 0 -y > Gets to: > Flushing hda hdb hdc, etc, then > Power Down. > > But then it stays here, everything stays on, the video, the box, etc. I used to have this exact problem. I solved it by forcing the ospm_system module to load at boot time, by mentioning it in /etc/modules. ospm_system is part of ACPI; on your system it might be a different module, e.g. if you use APM. What seems to happen is that at power down, the last thing the kernel wants to do is to call ospm_system to turn the power off. But the kernel module loader has already been shut down, so if the module hasn't already been loaded, it can't load and the kernel hangs. I had this problem with the 2.4 kernels, but I believe it's been solved in 2.6. I'm running 2.6.0-test4, and now that I look back I find that I don't even have an ospm_system module any more. But the system still powers down correctly. The last message I see on the screen now is "calling acpi_power_off". This isn't a module; it seems to be a function that's built into the kernel when ACPI support is enabled. Good luck, Andrew. -- To reply by email, change "deadspam.com" to "alumni.utexas.net"
