Description Novak Jan 2007-11-08 23:12:17 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution: Debian 4.0 Lenny
Hardware Environment:   Celeron 2,8 GHz. Mainboard Asrock  with  socket 478  and Via  chipset. It is model P4VM890. Quite new.   I have case from 
 one of  Fujitsu Siemens models and it has not restart button. So it is not 
 connected.  Hard Disk WD 120 GB SATA.
Software Environment: Debian 4.0 Lenny
Problem Description:  I tried to use kernel 2.6.22. It is  the last  version from testing 
 Lenny. When I stop my computer, it  looks like some restart. It stops and 
 after 1 second it begins to start again. After 1 second it stops definitely.  
 It is unpleasant.  I have tried 2.6.23 kernel from trunk and it does the same error.
 By 2.6.18 kernel from ETch it is all right.

Steps to reproduce: I sent info to kernel packager  and he wrote, it is a kernel bug and not package problem.

fwiw, a Nocona machine whcih Intel sent me started doing this about 1.5 years
ago.  It used to shut down OK, but now it turns on again five seconds later.

Suspicions have been raised about wake-on-LAN hardware remaining
permanently asserted or something like that, but it is unknown why it used
to work then stopped.

Jan, an updates on this? How is it working with recent kernel, maybe newer BIOS?
Comment 3 Novak Jan 2008-05-10 12:52:45 UTC
                              Hi!
 It is the same. 2.6.18 kernel is without problems. 2.6.24 kernel does the 
same like 2.6.22. I have unfortunately  older version of 2.6.24 kernel. I did 
not try to change BIOS. I think it is not BIOS problem and to flash BIOS is 
always little bit risk.
                      
                                                                  Greetings

                                                                   Jan

Comment 4 Zhang Rui 2008-05-11 18:47:56 UTC
As this is a regression, upgrading BIOS may not help on this issue.
I suspect it's the PME that wakes up your system again after a normal shutdown.
The following two patches disable PME all the time.
Please give them a try.

Please try the patch attached and see if it helps?
Comment 8 Natalie Protasevich 2008-06-06 21:47:04 UTC
Jan, do you need some help/instructions with testing the patches that Rui provided in #5,6?
Comment 9 Novak Jan 2008-06-08 03:58:08 UTC
 Thank you very much for patch. I am very sorry, but I have not so much time 
in this time.  To compile new kernel would take several hours and I hope, 
that sometimes in the next week it will be possible to try it.
 Now I can only write, that I tried new kernels 2.6.25 and 2.6.26-RC5  for 
Debian   and they do the same.  It would be great to have package for Debian 
with patched kernel, but so I have to compile it. 

                                                           Greetings

                                                           Novak J.

Comment 10 Novak Jan 2008-06-13 14:52:13 UTC

        Hi!
 I tried your patch and  it does not resolve my problem. 
My computer still does the same. 
 I think, that  I will  try some other distribution or new BIOS.

                                                 Greetings
                 
                                                 Novak J.

Comment 11 Zhang Rui 2008-07-08 00:00:59 UTC
any updates on this, novak?
As this is a regression, it would be good if you can get the specific kernel release where this problem exists for the first time.
and it would be great if you can do a git bisect to narrow down the problem to a specific commit. :)
Comment 12 Novak Jan 2008-07-12 06:10:11 UTC
        Hi!
What I know, it was for first time on kernel 2.6.22, but I did not try kernels 
2.6.19, 2.6.20 and 2.6.21. If you want, you can write, how to get outputs, 
what you want and I can do it and send to you, but you have to write quickly, 
because I want to sell this computer.

Comment 13 Zhang Rui 2008-07-13 18:17:45 UTC
Okay,
Q1. does the problem still exist in the latest kernel release, say 2.6.26?
Q2. what's the latest kernel version that this problem doesn't exist?
Comment 14 Novak Jan 2008-07-14 08:02:57 UTC

I tried versions  2.6.22, 2.6.24, 2.6.25. and  2.6.26  rc5. All Debian 
kernels.  Error  do every of this versions.  The last versions, what was OK, 
was 2.6.18, but how I wrote, I did not try 2.6.19, 2.6.20 and 2.6.21.

please attach the dmidecode output
Comment 16 Len Brown 2011-01-18 05:39:22 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for several years...

Please re-open if this is still a problem with a recent kernel.
