Here I had exactly the same problem on my ancient laptop running 6.1-STABLE. I solved the problem by removing the kbdmux device from my kernel configuration. This laptop uses the atkbd driver for the keyboard. I also verified this on a Pentium 4, also using an AT keyboard: if kbdmux is in the kernel configuration the problem occurs, if it is not, the system behaves normally when using "shutdown -h now". So I advise to delete or comment the line: device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer from your kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel. You probably do not need kbdmux if you use just one single type of keyboard.

Will not boot from halt
Hi, The other day I did a complete rebuild by doing a fresh install/CVsup on my office machine and brought it to FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE-p3. The box is a Dell Optiplex GX-270. It is dual booted with Win XP. I didn't make any changes to the XP. Previously, if I did a 'shutdown -h now' it would do the shutdown and stop with a message on the console saying: The Operating system has halted Please press any key to reboot Then I could let it set and either cut the power or hit a key and make it reboot. But.Now, I do the shutdown -h now and it goes down to that halted state with the same message.But, when I hit a key it seems to ignore it and just sits there and seems to do nothing. To reboot then, I have to kill the power and turn it back on. I am not trying to get it to go all the way down to poweroff - just sit there and wait for me to hit a key for a reboot - without doing a poweroff, which worked fine under FreeBSD 4.xxx Has anyone noticed something like this? Is it an OS change/bug or did I probably do something weird when I did the reinstall. It is more of an annoyance than a big problem, but something isn't right. By the way, shutdown -r now seems to work as expected. Also, on another box I have here - A Dell Precision 330 which is currently at FreeBSD 6.0 (also dual booted, but with Win-200x) it seems to work as I expect and as the other one did before the upgrade. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
