I have freebsd 7.2 amd64 installed on my sony vaio sz-483n laptop. I have never manged to get it to power off. It almost finishes the shutdown sequence, the screen goes blank, but then it just hangs. Key presses have no effect and strangely I cant power off by holding down the power button for a long time which would always work in any situation other than when freebsd tries to power off. I then have to pull the power chord and remove the battery as it becomes the only way for it to do anything. I have tried to look into this myself for hours, attempted to put up with it but it so frustrating I need simple fix for this. Rebooting works fine but Windows and linux can both power off my laptop. Please help.
