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
Two things you could try. First is to force the use of ACPI using:
acpi=force
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.
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.
Have you checked the kernel options used by TinyME Linux and tried using those with openSUSE?
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.
