[gentoo-user] cannot completely shut down my system from command line

[gentoo-user] cannot completely shut down my system from command line

[John covici]

Hi.  I am running unstable gentoo and baselayout2, however when I
shutdown my system with something like shutdown -r now -- it gets into
a state where it says
init: no more processes in this run level, but it never will restart
or shutdown if I use -h.  How in the heck do I even debug such a thing
or fix?

Thanks in advance for any good ideas.

Having similar problems with latest min-install in a netbook. Shutdown
-some-option doesn't do the trick. ctrl-alt-delete just freezes the
console until I hold down the power button.

Did you enable ACPI in your kernel configuration?

Make sure
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON
is enabled in your kernel config (for menuconfig, under Power Management &
ACPI -> ACPI Support -> Button) - without this, Linux can't auto-shut-off
your system.

Its a module, not built-in.  But even shutdown -r now does not work as
 I get the message mentioned above and the computer hangs there
 forever.

I have a similar issue on my laptop after upgrading to the kernel 2.6.29.
The alsasound service wont stop.... i have to unload the snd_hda_intel module 
first (it is an alsa related issue).
If it is the same problem you could add "modprobe -r snd_hda_intel" 
in /etc/conf.d/local.stop or /etc/conf.d/local.

Ciao

Same problem, but with xorg drivers (radeon) on a stable system.  If I
exit xorg and then issue shutdown from console it works fine.

i've had the same problem. The unloading of alsa-modules is'nt needed according to alsa-developers. So setting 

UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no"

in /etc/conf.d/alsasound  helps for me.

I've seen this kind of thing on systems with buggy hardware and/or  
BIOS. It may not be a Linux or Gentoo problem.
