No shutdown with Gaming kernel sources and ACPI

Valheru

Why? When I shutdown the system gets to the line "Power down" and then just sits there. It doesn't respond to the off button either . I've compiled ACPI into the kernel, first with only the option "CPU enumeration only" and then when that didn't work I turned that off and added Button, Fan and Processor.

The options for ACPI are ifferent to the ones for the vanilla kernel, which is annoying since that one does work. however, it doesn't work with my NVIDIA drivers :roll:

Any suggestions?

do a search for "power down". there are a few threads on this. some people have resolved this, but I haven't, and I use gentoo-sources-kernel with ACPI and acpid daemon.

You need to enable Power Management support, but not Advanced Power Management BIOS support.

Dunno why.

Yeah, Power Management needs to be enabled along with ACPI with the options Button, Processor and Fan (I guess it only needs buttons, and that Fan and Processor are optional, but better safe and sorry - maybe it doesn't need any of them but I don't feel like breaking it, it works :p )

I got ACPI working finally, but I'm not sure what I did. I recompiled the kernel yesterday, added some non-related SCSI support and played with unrelated stuff in devfsd.config, and it works. It is very clear that kernal support is now compiled in, because the output of dmesg complained about missing kernel support for ACPI when the apcid tried to load. Now it's happy. It seems to me someone fixed a kernel bug, but the kernel version is the same as last recompile. Well, I'm glad it works
