Acpi is enabled and recognized at boot. There isn't a repeatable pattern for the poweroff failure: sometimes it works after a cold boot, sometimes after windows resets the pc, sometimes it doesn't work for days; I also added the most recent patches to the kernel, but without improvements. For the record: windows always shuts down the pc properly, and I never installed any additional driver. What can I do?
