[opensuse] shutdown won't power off
Googling over an hour and searching Novell's Bugzilla haven't found anything recent on this issue. This is 11.0's 2.6.25.9 both default and pae on an old i810E chipset with PIII 500MHz CPU. I tried: acpi=power-off lapic noapic maxcpus=0 acpi=off Anyone know any other kernel parameters that might make shutdown succeed in powering off the machine? Windoz succeeds, as does the 2.6.18 kernel in TinyME Linux. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

The fact that the machine is old may mean it is using apm instead of acpi. Try apm=poweroff Ed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Two things you could try. First is to force the use of ACPI using: acpi=force Or you could try using APM instead of ACPI, that is if APM is still available[0]. The following kernel parameters might help: acpi=off apm=on

Have you checked the kernel options used by TinyME Linux and tried using those with openSUSE? [0] I don't know as I've not used APM for power management since using SuSE 9.1 on an old P2-300MHz laptop.

Works! :-)
Or you could try using APM instead of ACPI, that is if APM is still available[0]. The following kernel parameters might help:
acpi=off apm=on
Fails, as do apm=poweroff, acpi=ht, acpi=strict & acpi=poweroff.

It uses acpi=on, which fails with the SUSE 2.6.25 kernel. In the latest kernel-parmeters.txt I saved in an easy to find location, the only acpi= options are force, off, ht, noirq & strict. Thanks for the help from you and Ed. For reference, there's a clue at the end of the init messages. When skipped services include acpid, then shutdown will fail to power off. Only with acpi=force was acpid excluded from the skipped list. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Good. What probably happened was the kernel looked at the date of the BIOS, decided it was too old and so disabled ACPI for you.

I wasn't sure if it would work or not. It's been a while since I used it and the memory seems to not be quite as good as it once was.

It uses acpi=on, which fails with the SUSE 2.6.25 kernel.
It's probably because of the date in the BIOS is too old, malformed or completely missing. My guess is that it's just too old, or it would have failed with the 2.6.18 kernel, and that the 2.6.18 kernel has an earlier cut-off date which is older than the BIOS.
