Dear listmembers, after some quirks I succeeded in making a 2x2-CPU HP-Ws work using SuSE9.3. However, what I cannot do is shutdown and turn off the machine using shutdown -h now. This is probably due to the fact that I have to add apci=off on the boot-commandline, otherwise the system does not boot. Is there any workaround for this? I would have
Booting with pci=noacpi should make the shutdown problem go away? If it still does not shutdown, there is a little reboot/shutdown fix for ACPI case (ACPI shutdown is also active for pci=noacpi, but should not for acpi=off) in the next kernel update (not sure whether it's already available).
I don't think there is. From what I remember, there is something about a dual CPU machine prevents the automatic shutdown as with a single cpu system. It does have something to do with the acpi=off, but exactly what I'm not sure. I know that on my dual amd 2800 machine, I must hit the button to turn it off.
Hmm, I have a HP xw9300 here, booting without pci=noacpi and without acpi=off with the latest SLES9 kernel and SL 10.0. Do you use the latest BIOS installed? Thomas
