salut

  :) Yes !

  now, it works wery well for me.

  I played with kernel configuration, i found this:
  
  I guess, Problem was in "Enhanced RTC driver". If i have this driver
  inside a kernel (or like module), my laptop will never poweroff().
  last message was like this:
  		...
		call_power_off()   
		...HANG...
		
		

  
  (also i have inserted HPET timer inside kernel, not like module)


  Is this some unresolved dependency with RTC ?
  Can i have both timers ? (RTC, HPET )
  

  Thanks a lot.

YESSSSS

Worked for me too.  Replaced the enhanced by the generic with extended, and
it worked.

How did you spot that?  Anyway, it was well spotted indeed.  Might be worth
reporting to people responsible for that (?).

Thanks.

 I can post this bug.

 I found some similar bug :
 
 Bugzilla Bug 2719:
 	  	[ATI 9100IGP, Award/Phoenix BIOS]: halt becomes reboot
		when BIOS "Wake up on RTC" is enabled

 but, i don't think, that this is the same problem, or not ?

maybe it could be mentioned in the text... But I think a new report is 
required.
Boy I had a bad experience! Just tryed to reproduce your problems, by 
loading module-rtc. The machine was just started and waited at the 
KDM-prompt. Loading the module and shuting down crashed my 
ext2-filesystem, loosing some files. That is really bad! Of course it did 
not power-off, as you all experienced.

Here is my update for the Acer TravelMate 634.

I have the following set (or rather _NOT_ set) in my kernel and I can now 
power off correctly:
	# CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is not set
	# CONFIG_RTC is not set
	# CONFIG_GEN_RTC is not set

Also. I had been having problems with my computer randomly freezing. I
thought this was a problem with ACPI, or perhaps an old BIOS, however it
is not.

When I upgraded to the 2.6 kernel I did not have the right drivers
installed for my touch pad. It was half installed and as a result it 
was causing all kinds of problems. I now have the Synaptics drivers 
properly installed and everything (seems to be) working again. A _huge_ 
thank you to Hartwig Felger for helping me to track this problem down!

Hi Emma, mizu, hgfelger,
it works! I've isolated the problem.
I only had CONFIG_RTC=Y in my kernel and that was the only problem.
I've set
# CONFIG_RTC is not set
and everything works now.

acer TM632
slackware 10.0 kernel 2.4.26

Is there a place where you can configure parameters for your machine
model? Eg my laptop will need noapic to function. I can of cause set
that parameter, but novices would not know this, and it would be better
if the make and model be detected and the parameter always set.
This is, I wonder if there is a repository for the make and models in
the kernel.

best regards
keld

Where are the specific files for the DSDT tables? Are they taken from
the BIOS? Or is there a repository in the Linux kernel?

I understand that there are a number of fixes to buggy DSDT tables.
Why not include the fixes for all the makes and models
in the kernel, and then have it loaded at boot time? 

Best regards
Keld
