I have an older Gateway G6-400 (PII/400) machine with 256M memory, Adaptec 2940 SCSI, LS-120 and TNT2 based video card.
With the most recent Cooker - I am experiencing a very strange phenomenon . . . Recently I have been letting the machine run for days on end without shutting down or rebooting (despite the fact my wife complains about the energy bill) When I choose system halt from KDE (or perform the "shutdown -h now" command - Linux starts to shutdown. Previously the machine shut itself off at the end. Now it simply says: System Halted - Power Down So I depress the button on the machine and power off - the system is now completely off. BUT - after roughly 3-5 minutes - it springs to life again (as if I started it with the power switch) - and I didn't touch ANYTHING! Either my machine doesn't like to be shut off, or there is a poltergeist playing tricks here. The first time this happened, I simply thought that I forgot to shut it down the night before. But when I stayed a bit longer after turning it off, I saw it turn itself on. What I don't understand is - if the machine for some strange reason was on suspend or standby, why wouldn't I see any lights on the keyboard or any other indication of its state - and why does it spring to life by itself? One clue may be in the messages: Feb 18 10:28:24 foxbase kernel: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Feb 18 10:28:24 foxbase kernel: Found and enabled local APIC! Attached is a dmesg output and a copy of the /var/log/messages for your inspection. I have NOT changed ANYTHING in the BIOS (for ages now) - but I will recheck. Thanks all, R.Fox
