 |
|
Hi,
I've a compaq ml370 which runs (genkernel) 2.6.21.6-vanilla. After issuing the shutdown -r command, the system hangs after 'Remounting file systems read-only .. [ok]'. No syslog messages about this, so i'm not sure where to start looking for problems.
Can anyone advise?
kind regards,
errtu

sounds like its not calling acpi_poweroff or something... can you try recompiling by hand? maybe genkernel skipped over a few acpi modules.

haha! Sorry, but i've just spent over a week trying to get the hellish machine to boot at all! Somehow i can't compile it for myself because it just refuses to boot. See this thread.
However, i am able to change genkernel's configuration so i checked and saw that the acpi modules were compiled, but not loaded. I modprobe'd 'button.ko' and shutdown -r again. Still the same problem. Should i load other modules? |

don't believe so, button should be all you need.

That's what i figured. I'm re-compiling everything now with all acpi options included in the kernel (so no modules) and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the pointers so far  |

If that all fails, disable acpi on the boot prompt (noacpi) and see if it works then. Perhaps the power-off ACPI command is misunderstood by the hardware and the fall-back (non-acpi) powerdown command succeeds

Well that (not compiling acpi as modules) didn't work. Adding the noacpi option didn't work either. I guess i will actually have to pull the plug in the case of a reboot. Alas! |
