Hi!
My system doesn't shut down properly.
Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS (packages updated regularly)
Current kernel image of 2.6.15-26-686
Mainboard: MSI 865PE Neo2-P
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.8E GHz 800 MHz (Box)
RAM: 3 x 512 MB DDR
Video card: NVidia GeForce 5200 FX
Keyboard: Logitech iTouch Internet
Graphics tablet: Wacom Intuos A5
I remember having the same problem under
Debian 3.0, but as that encounter was somewhat short and is about a year
ago, the only thing I can remember is that it was a 2.6 kernel as well.
Kubuntu also claims that I have a partial ACPI installation ("not fully
installed" or something the like in "System Settings -> Laptop and Power
-> Laptop Battery -> Power Control").
This is probably related to "acpi -V" producing the error message "No
support for device type: thermal" and having almost no useful entries in
"/proc/acpi/...".
When I remove the boot option "quiet splash" I get the following
messages during shutdown:
* Will now halt.
[...] md: stopping all md devices
[...] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[...] usb 4-2: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
[...] Shutdown: hda
[...] ACPI-0517: *** Error: Method parse/execution failed
[\SB_.PCI0.IDE0.GTM_] (Node dffe5d60), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT
[...] ACPI-0517: *** Error: Method parse/execution failed
[\_SB_.PCI0.IDE0.CHN0._GTM] (Node dffe5fa0), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT
[...] Power down.
[...] acpi_power_off called
Then there's a click as my hard drives shut down, and that's about as
near as I ever get to shutting down my computer. The only thing working
at this stage are pressing the power button (for unusual 4 seconds) or
the reset button.
Also, when I reboot the computer from KDE, it does as told, but when in
the BIOS routines, there's a noticeable pause and a click when my two
S-ATA drives are checked. I don't have a problem like that when
rebooting Win XP (I have a dual boot system).
I had a look at several forums and had a go at fixing my DSDT.dsl (you
can find the original file at
http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/2441/?format=txt). As running the
recommended
cp /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`-acpifix
echo -n "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`-acpifix
cat /boot/DSDT.aml >> /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`-acpifix
failed to produce a bootable image, a found a workaround (and I'm a
little proud, being still new to Linux... <g>):
sudo cp ~/DSDT.aml /etc/mkinitramfs/DSDT.aml
sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`-acpifix
After rebooting with such an image I find this in the syslog:
[...] ACPI-0284: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
[...] ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... found /DSDT.aml ...
successfully read 13614 bytes from /DSDT.aml
[...] ACPI: Using customized DSDT
As this message vanishes when I run an original image, I think it has
worked.
Es scheint also geklapt zu haben. Zeit, sich dem Problem zuzuwenden -
ein Lauf von iasl -sa DSDT.sdl ergibt die folgende Meldung:
So here are the warnings I found when recompiling the DSDT:
Intel ACPI Component Architecture

AML Output: DSDT.aml - 13606 bytes 500 named objects 1014

Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 2 Warnings, 0 Remarks,
462 Optimizations
For the second warning I use the googled "standard solution"
Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00})
So the problem seems to lie within the first warning. As my machine code
knowledge is based on the Z80 and was lost somewhere years ago, I'd like
to ask for your help. I also checked the WWW and the ACPI spec for
ideas, but couldn't come up with anything useful.
Any help is deeply appreciated!
