Hi Eric and all!
Last few weeks or so I started having problems with reboot/poweroff on my aging SMP desktop (dual PIII, Apollo Pro 266 chipset). The machine does all steps til' the very end where it stops (hangs) before the actual reboot or poweroff. The problem doesn't happen every time (but occasionally). Alt-SysRQ-B/O doesn't work at the point of hang.
I did a little bit of investigation and I believe that this patch:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=dd2a13054ffc25783a74afb5e4a0f2115e45f9cd
is the primary suspect for the regression (reboots and poweroffs have been working fine for the last few years on this particular machine). But now I need expert help. :) I'm willing to help decipher this, so don't hesitate to ask for more details! I don't even know what info is useful to provide at this point (kernel is virgin 2.6.12, ACPI is compiled in, I don't use any boot time reboot= parameter, what else?). And please Cc: me 'cause I'm not on the list.
Thanks for any info! -- Zlatko - 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/
