Re: poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot my machine
Just to get this here. I've moved the SSD drive containing NetBSD to another machine and both commands are working properly. Regards Den mån 30 juli 2018 16:29Pedro Pinho skrev: > Ok!

Re: poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot my machine
Ok! I've checked hp's webpage. No BIOS updates available under Linux. Of course, there's no reference to any BSD. There're updates available to both BIOS and firmware under Windows, but I don't have any Windows machine. I can try to make a DOS bootable USB and boot in UEFI mode to try to update the BIOS, but I won't be able to do this before earliest next week.

The last one is typically something like: acpi: entering S5 or similar. Do you see those? Any errors printed there in the last seconds before it reboots? This may be a problem with you BIOS/Firmware and it is worth to check if there is an update available. Martin
Re: poweroff and shutdown -p now only reboot my machine
First of all thank you for your reply. I'm really enjoying this system. Yes, of course. All the following commands act like reboot: sudo poweroff sudo shutdown -p now sudo halt -v The machine closes down all running applications and apears to shutdown, but immediately starts booting again, exactly like reboot. Actually, I see no difference if I issue sudo reboot Also, when booting it shows random_seed: /etc/entropy-file: Not present, which I belive is consistent with rebooting behaviour. If I hard shutdown by pressing the power bottom, which I know I shouldn’t do, the random_seed is present and read at boot. Currently, I shutdown the laptop and press the power button when it starts to boot up again, but I would prefer if I could shutdown the system properly. NetBSD-8 running now is updated from the RC_2 release if that matters.
