ASUS M6800N: shutdown doesn't power off the machine

ASUS M6800N: shutdown doesn't power off the machine

Hello,

I've a simple problem: when I call 'shutdown -h now' or I press the
power button, a clear shutdown is started, but the machine isn't power
off. Here the messages on the console:
=====
Synchronizing SCSI cahce for disk sda:
Power down.
acpi_power_off called
  hwsleep-0265 [36] acpi_enter_sleep_state: Entering sleep state [S5]
=====

At boot, I don't have any problem with 'fsck' or disk checking, so the
shutdown process is ok, but the machine isn't power off. This is on
kernel 2.6.2 with ACPI 20040211. The same happens on kernel 2.6.3-rc4 +
ACPI 20040211 and quite the same on kernel 2.4.24 + ACPI 20040116, the
only difference is that the screen is blank.

I should add that the DSDT of my ASUS M6800N is bad, I mean, there're
some problems about the battery and generally about ACPI modules, but
I'll write another mail about them ASAP.

Please let me know if I should post as kernel bug.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Hello,

this mail is the same as I posted on the thread called 'Can't poweroff anymore'
and dated 20040304, as I thought the problem was similar to that thread, but in
fact is completely different.

as I was running with 'preempt' and 'APIC/IO-APIC' and with my last ASUS
Centrino M3N 'APIC/IO-APIC' had cause some problems, I tried 3 new configurations:
- - no preempt and no APIC > shutdown works ok
- - preempt and no APIC > shutdown works again
- - preempt and APIC > shutdown doesn't work

Should I post as kernel bug?
