No full shutdown in FreeBSD 9.0-RC1

alie · Nov 3, 2011

Hi,

When i try to:

Code:

# shutdown -p now

the screen goes blank, yet the backlight stays on and the HD does not spin down. I let it idle for 30 minutes and it did nothing at this point.

I've tried shutdown with Linux and Windows the result is those 2 OS'es shutdown my system completely

Now this can sound tricky, but what happens if you halt the system?

Press any key to reboot.

Not sure, but maybe ACPI issue?

It used to work, now it doesn't... after upgrading to FreeBSD 8.2 or FreeBSD 9.0-RC1

So, do you have a custom kernel?

Nope, its official release taken from ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RC1-amd64-dvd1.iso

well... Too odd. What if try another shutdown command, for instance, # init 0
I issue this every day without any quirk.

Same thing... the screen goes blank, yet the power led stays on

A regression you may want to report...

As a temporary solution, have you tried booting with ACPI off? I believe the system should fall back to using a legacy system such as APM that may hopefully work better.

So I take it you haven't reported it yet? No waiting for RC2 or RELEASE or FreeBSD 100 will ever fix it if no one else (especially the developers) is aware of the problem and you don't report it.

I already reported the issue, hope they can fix it before RC2 or RELEASE
