Can you tell me how these workarounds actually work? I'm guessing from what is written on the bug page that acpi-user-options=2 disables ACPI - is that right? What does setting it to 8 do? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

Hmm, for some reason the system hangs on boot if I use acpi-user-options=2, but setting it to 8 works fine. This is only since I have enabled my network card BTW. Cheers Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing

Would I be right in saying that with acpi-user-options=8 my system will not power off at shutdown? The reason I ask is that rebooting from solaris works fine, but shutting down hangs after the message syncing file systems... done. Cheers Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
