i guess that i have issues with this Bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051#c434
der Shutdown-process runs - but only to a certain point there is no poweroff:
the notebook is this one HP Notebook hp 14 r 103ng
Intel Pentium N3540 QuadCore, 4GB, 500GB,
delivered with Free DOS
see all more detailed:
processor: Intel® Pentium™-Prozessor N3540 (4x 2,16 GHz, mit Turbo Burst bis zu 2,66 GHz, 2MB Cache)
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
memorey: 4 GB DDRL3 ; 1600 MHz, max. 8 GB

i found out that this behaviour is still the same in - opensuse leap 42.2
with kernel 4.4
which options do i have.
a. i can upgrade the kernel to the newest - to test if this behaviour change. - and that i have a shutdown and poweroff.
b. i can try to install opensuse 13.2 - which works well - with poweroff -
… and install a virtualbox - with opensuse 42.2
do you think that this is possible?
love to hear from you
greetings
Looking at the other post you linked to yes updating the bios might help with this problem.
There can be problems though as the new bios may change hardware level addresses. This may or may not be a problem and if it is the easiest remedy is probably a re install so that the hardware is detected again.
I have never had to upgrade bios but have read on HP’s site that some people have had to do this to fix various problems and noticed one instance where Linux couldn’t cope with one of the hardware address changes so that had to be done by hand. That is very probably not easy to do without a decent level of knowledge about this level of functionality.

hello dear John
many many thanks for the quick reply. Great to hear from you.
i will investigate the bios-things and try to clear up - if i can have a BIOS update.
on the other handside - i think - if all fails - then a virtual box migth help:
i have found this: **OpenSUSE 13.2: Basic VirtualBox Installation - YouTube
