| |
I have an ABIT IC7-G and using the original bios that came with the box it would shutdown all the way with: shutdown -i 0 -g 0 -y, however now that I have upgraded the bios to the newest, it stops at Flushing devices, etc, etc, then Power Down, but it stays there.
Another thing too, when I have the i8xx random number generator enabled WHEN using the old bios, I get TONS of errors all over the place when doing file copies, md5sums and so on.
When I use do not use a kernel with the i8xx random number generator, there are no problems at all, and I can shut down.
I've e-mailed ABIT but have not received any response regarding this issue.
I am currently using ic717.exe BIOS revision, there may be a newer one now...
As far as the errors go, I do not have have bad ram or a bad HDD, and I only got all those 'file input/output error' etc when I had the random number generator (i8xx) support turned on with the older bios. With the newer bios, I do not have any such issues with the i8xx enabled.
It seems as if maybe this motherboard / linux have something/incompatiblity/in terms of fully powering down? Is there something new about i875 motherboards that still is a problem even up to 2.4.22 kernels with shutting down?
It would be nice to be able to shutdown the machine and have it power off, this isn't an old AT-based computer that requires you to flip the switch to fully power it off ;)
Does anyone have any solutions? I've asked A-Bit 3-4 weeks ago, as to that, no response. I've tried many different BIOS', but the only one that will fully shutdown is the one that came with the board (03/27/2003) is the datecode on that BIOS if I remember correctly.
I am not sure what else to try at this moment.
