Some particular Acer/Packard Bell machines hang during shutdown.
The system completely hangs while doing bit operations for turning on SLP_EN
bit in ACPI PM1A control address and Sleep Control Register. Thus the
normal acpi_power_off path can never complete the shutdown process.
We have found a workaround to force these systems to use EFI for poweroff,
included below, but I wonder if anything better can be done. It is especially
not ideal because the system hangs the same way when going into suspend and
we don't have a workaround for that.
Any debugging tips for how to diagnose such problems?
Thanks
Daniel
