Poweroff works intermittently

Poweroff works intermittently

[Nico]

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with vanilla kernels 2.6.[124] on my Abit 
IC7 motherboard:
halt doesn't always shut down the system, instead it hangs after having 
written "entering sleep state s5"
on the console.
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?
Thanks,
       Nico

well, IMHO it doesn't hang, it "just" doesn't turn off the machine, but all the
rest is ok. You can verify at next boot: normally the HD is ok and there's no
check for errors (like any other machine-freezing).

I had the same problem on my ASUS laptop (M6842NWH). There're 2 possible solutions:

- - disable APIC/Local-APIC (at boot with 'noapic/nolapic' or in the kernel), in
  many cases (as in mine) this solves the problem

- - using Hartwig Felger's patch, other infos

thanks for your suggestions, but adding "noapic" or "nolapic" or "noapic 
nolapic" doesn't help at all.

and have you tried compiling a kernel with no APIC support?

Also, have you tried Hartwig Felger's patch?

Hi,

I confirm, I had the same problem on a Sony vaio Z1RMP, which is solved by Hartwig Felger's patch + 'nolapic' on kernel command line.

Bye

Hello,

In fact after testing, your patch is not needed for me. (Vaio Z1RMP, kernel 2.6.4)
Just disabling local APIC from vanilla sources makes the computer shutdown properly.
