Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.13-rc2 Distribution: Hardware Environment: GB 7NNXP (nForce2) Software Environment: Problem Description: Halt (or <Crtl><SysRq><O>) doesn't do the actual power-off. It gets through all the shutdown procedure, even the disks park, but then when the actual power-off is to be done, nothing happens. The regression is somewhere between 2.6.13-rc2 and 2.6.13-rc3-git4. In 2.6.13-rc5-git2 it is still not fixed. Steps to reproduce:
*** Bug 5006 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug appears to have been fixed in 2.6.13-rc5-git3.
This looks like it could well be a duplicate of Bug #4992.
Indeed, it is.
I mean it is fixed in -rc5-git3. Whether it's a duplicate of #4992, I'm not so sure as that was claimed to be resolved in -rc5-git2 and this one wasn't. Also that one was failing before disks shut down, this one was after.
