Thats what ACPI-support does on linux ;-)
So power off your SMP manually or accumulate uptime like the rest of us.
(actually ACPI is more stable om SMP machines that normal ones. My ASUS A7M-D dual Athlon is the only machine I have ever seen survive more than 5 minutes with an ACPI-kernel) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
