openSUSE 11: Laptop does not shut down

Hi there,

I am running openSUSE 11.0 on my Samsung Q45-T5450 Laptop. When I halt, it never shuts down completely. I have to press the power button to turn it off. The last messages I see are:

Master Resource Control: runlevel 0 has been …reached
Skipped services in runlevel 0: SuSEfirewall2_setup

It’s nothing big, but I’d like to have it solved :slight_smile:
Anybody knows how to correct this?

TIA,
pcween

PS: I am using KDE3, if that plays a role…

I have the same problem using KDE4

shutdown works for me onn a hp compaq 8510p, but reboot always hangs at the bios screen and I have to use the power button to switch off/on manually… seems like there remain a couple of issues to be solved.

I’ve got an HP tc4200 tablet PC. I believe shutting down normally worked, but rebooting would hang at some point.

I fixed this by adding reboot=b to my kernel parameters. I have a hunch you might be looking for something similar.

reboot=b does not seem to fix this for me. any other ideas?

Cheers, Lothar

I had some similar issues with my Compaq Armada m700, where it would hang at the boot/shutdown screen image. The disks and everything else turn off, but I have to physically unplug it to get it to shut the screen off.

I blame it on my video card, as it has been the root of all of my problems with SuSE. It’s outdated; not even updating the driver files from ATI’s site will fix it.

I don’t know if this really helps, but I’m with you.

I have a HP Pavilion tx2500 laptop, and I have the same problem:
I cannot shut down the computer.

This this what I get from /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.25.18-0.2-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2008-10-21 16:30:26 +0200

This is what I get in /var/log/messages

Anyone can help, please?

Is your power management working correctly? What is with ACPI, is it working?

As per the messages that I have here, I think I do not have ACPI support…

I have some similar problem with my MSI laptop. Take a look to this thread: The fan isn’t working - openSUSE Forums. It has been fixed, thanks to snakedriver.

I noticed that the file root/var/log/boot.msg is giving the following entry:

Boot logging started on /dev/tty1(/dev/console) at Fri Jan 2 15:39:21 2009

FATAL: Error inserting processor (/lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko): No such device

FATAL: Error inserting fan (/lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko): No such device

Also, when I type “acpi” this is what I get:

acpi
No ACPI support in kernel, or incorrect acpi_path ("/proc/acpi").

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This how I managed to fix the problem:

  1. read the following
    /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/sec.pmanage.acpi.html

  2. Go to YAST —> System—>Boot—> Edit
    Change acpi=off to acpi=force, so that the booting options read like this:

apm=off acpi=force mce=off barrier=off ide=nodma idewait=50 i8042.nomux psmouse.proto=bare irqpoll pci=nommconf resume=/dev/sda5 splash=silent showopts.

I have the same problem. everything was fine, but after some updates it hang when shutting down. the progress bar goes to the end , and hard disk turns off, but the laptop it self (which is a TOSHIBA satellite m45) does not halt and power off.

please let me know what should i report from my system.

Best.
