[gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[Richard Marz]

I have all the appropriate power management interfaces enabled in my
kernel. ACPI is the one my system uses, but I've also tried APM and my
system still doesn't manage to shut the power off on it's own. My
motherboard is ATX but I'm forced to shut it down as if it were an AT
mobo. Is there anything else that might have to be enabled in the kernel
before the shutdown command can fully function. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried:

# shutdown -h now -P

?

No. But, I will try it now. I'll let you know if it works in a few
minutes because I'm downloading the latests kernel sources.

How old is your bios?

Have you tried acpi=force kernel param?

If shutodwn -h now -P doesn't work, try
shutdown -P -h now

I know that is just a matter of symantics, but a lot 
of programs want the "options" all in one spot. ^^;;
Not sure about this one.

Naturally this may not work for you but I use this one under APM:

I have video turned on under ACPI but I have no clue why.  :/    This is
my kernel version:

> root@smoker / # uname -r
> 2.6.18-gentoo-r6
> root@smoker / #

Hope that helps, maybe.  LOL

It seems to be giving me the same behaviour as shutdown -h now.

Re: [gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[Richard Marz]

I will try that right now.

My Bios is up to date. It's not the BIOS. Shutdown has been confirmed to
work with linux and freebsd kernels on my machine in the past.

Re: [gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[Richard Marz]

I'll try this as well.

RE: [gentoo-user] Shutdown -h now is not powering down system.

[Richard Marz]

halt -dp worked for me...never tried it before. Now, I did do a couple
of things. I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.20r8 and set the acpi=force
kernel parameter. I don't know whether the acpi=force paramenter fixed
the problem. I did see the gentoo shutdown.sh script (which you can view
at the bottom of this message) and it seems to call the halt command
with the options -dp. This means that before the same halt -dp was being
used and the system did not shutdown properly. Now I manually enter the
halt -dp command and it works flawlessly. So, maybe it was the kernel
upgrade or the acpi=force kernel parameter that is causing it to work.

[ "${INIT_HALT}" != "HALT" ] && opts="${opts}p" # here it is
[ "${RC_DOWN_INTERFACE}" = "yes" ] && opts="${opts}i"
[ "${RC_DOWN_HARDDISK}" = "yes" ] && opts="${opts}h"

/sbin/halt "${opts}"

# hmm, if the above failed, that's kind of odd ...
# so let's force a halt
/sbin/halt -f
