Try as I may, for some time now I can't get my machines to poweroff. I've got 3 machines affected: A Toshiba Satellite Pro U400, a Samsung N210 netbook and a white box old dual-core AMD64 (that one has an idiotic BIOS that sometimes doesn't shutdown/poweroff properly, but now it is completely consistent). Here on the Toshiba I've looked more closely into the issue: If I run poweroff (from the Gnome menu or by hand as root) the machine shuts down (sort of): CapsLock still toggles the LED (even on an USB keyboard), I can alt-F? to change ttys (even over USB), but there is no other reaction to keypresses. No HDD activity indication, nothing. I have to press the power switch a long time (a short press initiates soft shutdown, no reaction to that) to poweroff. Nothing relevant shows up in /var/log/messages. I see part of the boot messages, ending with: plymouthd: could not log boot: Address already in use on tty. Only out of the ordinary configuration I can think of is that /usr is a separate partition (really LVM2 volume). -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile 2340000 Fax: +56 32 2797513 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
