Cannot Shutdown or Restart Properly
Last modified: 2011-02-03 22:21:20 UTC
I've tried to install and reinstall several times but still the problem is that I cannot properly shutdown or reboot my laptop Compaq Presario 2100 I thought it was fixed already coz I've seen report since beta version of 11.1, but now after being GM/Final version of 11.1 and this problem still exist. How can I fix this?
I've installed version 11.1 on three computers (2 i586 and 1 x86_64). When I log-in just once, then the reboot or shutdown process fails. By just pressing "CTRL"+"Alt"+"F1", the process is continued. When I've log-in more then once, the shutdown/reboot process goes normal. By using the on/of switch of the computer (just pressing it shortly), the shutdown sequence is experiencing no errors.
I have an Acer Aspire 4520 and I'm experiencing what I believe is the same problem. I must mention this didn't happen on OpenSUSE 11.0 and it started only after updating to 11.1. Whenever shutting down or restarting, the laptop won't complete the process on its own. Maybe someone else could check this out, in my case, if I hold the i.e. CTRL key down, the process will continue. Same thing if I run my fingers on the touchpad. Other than that, I tried leaving it for a while during shutdown but it never completed (after around 30 mins). My logs don't show anything related to this problem. This is an excerpt of /var/log/messages: Jan 2 10:16:15 xxxx auditd[2425]: The audit daemon is exiting.

I forgot to mention that I'm using OpenSUSE 11.1 x64
Using acpi_skip_timer_override as a kernel parameter seems to help. Could some of you try this and confirm whether or not this helps?
I too have the same problem on opensuse 11.1 version kernel 2.6.27 hardware: compaq pressario v6600au laptop processor: amd 64 turion x2 tl 58 graphics card: nvidia geforce > 6M i notice the following when the laptop is running on battery, i could not boot/shutdown completely. it hangs during boot or shutdown and i have to press ctrl key to proceed furthur. this happens many times during the boot process. during shutdown, it proceeds till the very end but the machine gets powerd off only after pressing ctrl key. Also i notice the following, when the computer (running on battery) hangs during startup/shutdown , connect the power chord and swith to ac power and the whole process completes fine. i did a small workaround - just add the following - "acpi=noirq" to kernel parameters finex the issue for me. but not sure what is its side effects ( i found that after i do this , i cannot get back from a suspend mode)
i am using opensuse 11.1 amd64 (sorry forgot to mention above)
If you add "reboot=b" to the kernel command line, does rebooting work properly?
Greg, For me shutting down was also a problem (until I used acpi_skip_timer_override). Will the option you are mentioning solve the shutdown issue as well?
My bugreport #465186 seems to be a duplicate of this one 'acpi_skip_timer_override' works for, 'reboot=b' not, have to push one button, could be everyone. ACER 5520 AMD64 openSuSE 11.1-x86_64
I'm sorry reboot=b is not needed here, because the laptop reboot without problems, only shutdown is a problem.
A new kernel update (2.6.27.19-3.2-default) didn't help, the problem is still there. How is the progress on this bug? *will have to add acpi_skip_timer_override once more
Please check if the problem is reproducible with the kernel from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/
I recently updated to kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default and the problem is not there anymore. Please confirm.
using 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae on a HP pavilion dv6000 and the problem persists.
Please check if the problem is still present with openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 7 life CD available from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2-Milestone7/iso/
openSUSE 11.1 is not supported any more, so closing. Please reopen if the problem is still present in openSUSE 11.3/11.4.
