Hi. There are quite a lot of reports of people having problems managing poweroff of their ASUS P4B266 based systems. It seems that providing acpi=force as a boot param is quite succesful. Maybe that should be fixed WRT to the blacklisting... hence reporting as advised in the kernel source (arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c). I unfortunately couldn't identify the reason why such a blacklisting was setup, as it seems to come from long time ago. Hope this helps, Best regards. -- Olivier BERGER (OpenPGP: 1024D/B4C5F37F) http://www.olivierberger.com/weblog/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
