From your dmesg, it looks like you've got both apm and acpi configured. Even though ACPI is supposed to override APM and disable it, i've seen lots of people suggest that they do still interfere with each other.
I suggest getting rid of one or other of them. If you don't need any fancy power functions, like power button support, apm will suffice.

works good.
But for colocation "reboot" is *much* more important then the "poweroff" though... |

Would this mean that, if you have an unkillable process (perhaps because it is in UNINTERRUPTABLE state), you cant reboot? |

Any progress with this problem? I just encountered this problem as well. One thing that I noticed in your dmesg that is the same as mine when it doesn't shutdown:
| Code: | | Jun 25 10:36:47 comp Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a SiS? |
My kernel config is the same on 3 other boxes. I'm not running w/acpi or apm support built in the kernel (Power Management). Here are my main specs:
| Code: | | Linux comp 2.6.11-hardened-r14 #1 Tue Jun 21 14:54:12 MDT 2005 i686 AMD Sempron(tm) 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
The sequence of events that occurred when power up failed.
1. Rebooted the box.. it came up (but had the above AUX port message)
2. I noticed that I had networking, but ntp was not working.
3. Trying to fix ntp, i noticed that nameserver resolution was borked. (checking /etc/resolv.conf showed all was good, and I could ping the servers), but pinging by name would fail.
4. I tried to restart the interface, which then spit out problems with syslog-ng, etc.. basically couldn't restart the services.
5. I rebooted.. but then couldn't get back to the box
6. Powercycle fixed the problem
This is a co-lo box.. so I'm pretty concerned this is going to happen again, and would like to avoid it if possible.
Anybody have any ideas??
Thanks everyone!

Completely different hw (Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop) but same problem. I've solved it removing the ipw2200 wireless LAN module before rebooting. So I've put
| Code: | ifconfig eth1 down
rmmod -s ipw2200
|
in /etc/conf.d/local.stop and now I can reboot from command line (shutdown -r and reboot) and from KDE.
Even if it's not exactly the same you could try to selectively remove modules before rebooting (it's a little tedious, tenth of reboots, but worked for me). Hope this helps. |

hmmm
I don't have module support for my kernel. I definitely see the recurring behaviour when restart fails..
1. restart the box. It comes up fine on the first restart
2. in dmesg these lines will appear after successful 1st reboot:
| Code: | Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a SiS?
If AUX port is really absent please use the 'i8042.noaux' option. |
3. reboot again.. it'll hang on shutdown at this time
This is starting to be a critical issue!
Thanks much!

I'm trying to disable this in the kernel.. hoping it'll fix the problem.. anyone know where this is set in the config??
| Code: | | CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y |
This is my kernel:
| Code: | | 2.6.11-hardened-r15 |
Thanks!
