OK. This looks like it is going to get complex...
WINDOWS 2000
============
I'm afraid I don't have a Windows XP installation CD available (maybe I can
get the "rescue CD" for my laptop to work, but I'm reluctant to try).
However, I have tried Windows 2000. After updating the .inf files and
installing the correct video and net drivers, shutting down the system shows
the same problem: it does not power off.
Update/drivers I installed:
INF_ALLOS_7.2.2.1007_PV.exe
GFX_XP_MCE_2K_14.19.50.4497_PV.ZIP
LAN_11.0_ALLOS_PV.EXE
LINUX upstream 2.6.17-7 (Current Debian package: 2.6.17-5)
================================================
- em64t-smp variant
- Boots fine with ACPI enabled
- Does not power off on shutdown
last messsages: Power down. \ acpi_power_off called
- Boots fine with acpi=off
- Does not power off on shutdown
last message: System halted.
LINUX upstream 2.6.18-rc3 (self compiled)
=========================================
- compiled using 'make oldconfig' from 2.6.17 Debian config with most defaults
accepted; built with 'make; make install; make modules_install'
- initrd created with 'update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-rc3'
- all kinds of horrible errors during boot both with and without acpi;
for one thing, the USB-keyboard does not work
After a lot of problems with the initramfs initrd, I decided to give up and
compile the main driver modules I need into the kernel. After that the system
booted normally.
I will create an attachment with the initrd boot experiences, but they are
really a separate issue and may well be udev or initramfs-tools related more
than kernel issues.
There is absolutely no difference in poweroff behavior between 2.6.17 Debian
kernel and the 2.6.18-rc3 kernel. Same behavior, same messages.
