is shutdown/halt supposed to work?

[Ingo Molnar]

here's a really stupid question that i remember having seen discussed 
here before but for which i didnt find the answer in the archives: if i 
do a shutdown/halt in a KVM (Linux/Fedora) guest then is qemu supposed 
to exit back to the command line? Currently qemu just keeps looping when 
i do that, i have to kill it explicitly to make the guest stop.

I've actually never tried an orderly shutdown - I'm too impatient :).  
As it works well in qemu (0.8.2), I expect the problem is with our 
non-functioning acpi (the kernel complains acpi is broken when it starts 
up).

do you mean this message:

 Using APIC driver default
 ACPI: RSDP 000FA6A0, 0014 (r0 BOCHS )
 ACPI: RSDT 225F0000, 002C (r0 BOCHS  BXPCRSDT        1 BXPC        1)

 ACPI: no DMI BIOS year, acpi=force is required to enable ACPI

? I guess we could fill in the DMI BIOS year. I'll try acpi=force.

I'm more worried about

> ACPI Error (hwacpi-0179): Hardware did not change modes [20060707]
> ACPI Error (evxfevnt-0084): Could not transition to ACPI mode [20060707]

which I get on my FC6 guest.  The Windows issues also point to general 
acpi brokenness.
