FS#605 - TOPAZ 2.0 PRANKS SHUTDOWN/REBOOT HANG

Hi there,

1st I cannot set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

So anyway- This is a freshly purchased, fully installed Topaz from 1st April 2013, running on a IBM T42 1.7 ghz P4 Pentium M processor with 1gig ram.

System runs great except - It fails to shutdown correctly at every option available.

Message reads ‘Killing remaining processes’ and just hangs.

It is marked as Critical severity, due to the fact I am crashing heads on hard power off, although that may not be critical as far as you are concerned, this is my last ide laptop drive of 250gig and I don’t want it toasted.

Thank you

Hi,

In fact there's not any problem with your HD, the problem that you have is about acpi that doesn't know how to trigger the poweroff, but the system closes correctly until just when is going to poweroff, if you listen your HD when you are in a normal poweroff you should listen the same "heads sound"

Please try a few options:
- check if the bug still happening in a recent development iso (important to us to know if we still need to solve the problem or not)

For your actual topaz version, try if this helps before to try to shutdown:
- modprobe apm (from root)
- poweroff vs shutdown commands

A last solution could be to use reboot instead of poweroff, which should work correctly (then press the powerbutton after that)
