Hello everyone. I am new to opensuse, coming over from debian based systems. However I am having an issue in which my system will not power off on shutdown. Restarts just fine. i get a missing error during shutdown, but there is nothing to relate the error to on that line. Then the shutdown procedes to The System will be halted immidiately then hangs. The keyboard powers off and then thats it. All fans are still running. I have searched extensvely on this forum and google. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Most of these kinds of problems originate with the BIOS. What is your computer
make and model?
Sorry, meant to add this info but couldnt find an edit optin.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.5
Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 F6 BIOS
2*2Gb Mushkin Redline @ 1666
AMD Radeon HD 6950 2Gb
thank you, it was related to a BIOS setting. Problem Solved.
Seems to be realted to AMD Cool N’ Quiet. If I have it disabled then it fails to power down. Enabled, all is fine.
I’ve got the exact same problem!!! – exept my keyboard does not power down and my LCD stays litup with the last few messeges. My system will not suspend(sleep) or hibernate in as mutch as it will not wake up. My motherboard is MSI 890GXM-G65 running AMI bios version: don’t remember what ever it came with. My cpu is 1090T (AMD’s). My bios has the option to wake up via the os or bios sensing a key (any) pressed but changing that does not help.
Same on my server machine running 11.3. What’s the problem with having it on?
@ballsystemworks: I posted in an other thread. I have serious doubts on how you installed and on what you’ve done after the install. Please do yourself a favor, download a LiveCD and perform a clean install from that. At least we will know what kind of install you’re referring to, and that it’s one single openSUSE version regarding installed packages.
An answer would be nice. Ubuntu worked fine, but I’m sticking with suse, prefer it much more now that i have it setup. No problem with having it on, just disabled for overclocking reasons.

My 11.4 has a simular shutdown problem, most of time it won’t shutdown
except with the power button. It works occasionally. I have 12.1 installed
on seperate disk and so far it shutdown everytime.

I had this (failure to complete “init 0” or “init 6”) on our Acer machines whether Intel-Nvidia or AMD-Radeon with the 2.6.39 kernels. Fixed with 3.0.x kernels.

Thanks for the responses. I try updating the kernel after I get good
backup.

I will try swiching AMD cool’n’quiet on, and my system is KDE 11.4 open suse. I’v made many mistakes witch have made me have to install opensuse many times, most recently was the brown out; when I rebooted I got error 2202, so I just reinstalled.
Updated kernels work great as far as shutting down goes, getting fglrx kernel modules to compile and load…a different issue.
If you installed kernel-desktop-3.0.3 from the Kernel:/stable/standard repository you should also have been able to get kernel-desktop-devel which should add the correct sources and everything else needed to compile a module.
I am very interested to know what advantages you see in practice from the fglrx module compared to radeon from the newer kernels. I have been installing xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd and drm-radeon-kmp-desktop from the …/home:jobermayr/openSUSE-11.4 repository. My eyesight is not too good and there may be differences that oothere can see, but are lost to me.
I installed useing a live CD image. I turned AMD Cool’N’Quiet on and now it sleeps like a baby, hibernates like a bear, and shuts down like a… computer. Wake up event should be set to BIOS. I’m happy, but interested as to why AMD Cool’N’Quiet must be on.
My reasoning for fglrx is 3d performance, i play wow in wine. Also any other games i can play in linux i will.
ballsystemlord, im glad to hear that solved your issues as well and i wasn’t the only one experiencing that problem.
But have you tried the radeon driver from a 3.0.x kernel?
I have no proper comparison, only this “anecdotal” test:
I installed a dual boot with Radeon and FGLRX on my laptop (Radeon HD4330, openSuSE-11.4, KDE-4.7.0) with foobillard-3.0a and csmash-0.6.6. As I could see no obvious differences I asked three teenage neighbours to try them out. They did not notice the difference between the radeon and fglrx drivers in a single-blind trial. Perhaps with better hardware differences would be manifest?
