Description Hartwig Felger 2004-02-24 15:21:56 UTC
Distribution: SuSE 8.1 
Hardware Environment: Laptop Acer TM630 
Software Environment: sysvinit-2.82-187 
Problem Description: Till 2.4.24, respectively 2.6.2, halt -p -d -f did kill 
off the power of the laptop. With 2.4.25, as well as 2.6.3 it no longer does. 
If I do an echo 0xffff > /proc/acpi/debug_level before shuting down, I got 
lots of messages, afer the halt-command. It seems to be a loop, but it scrolls 
so fast, that I could not read any of them.  
 
cow:~ # cat /proc/acpi/info 
version:                 20040116 
states:                  S0 S3 S4 S5 
 
 
Steps to reproduce: shutdown -h now
Comment 1 Hartwig Felger 2004-03-03 04:08:56 UTC
After further digging I found out, that starting with a vanilla 2.4.24 kernel 
(which by itself works as it should), applying acpi-20031203-2.4.24.diff.bz2 
introduces the regression. If I have /proc/acpi/debug_level set to 7, it 
reports me after the "power down." message the following: 
hwsleep-0265 [33] acpi_enter_sleep_state: Entering sleep state [S5] 
 
After that nothing more happens. The machine has to be cut power by pressing 
the power-button >4sec.

looks like the same regression spotted in bug 2109
