Thank you for confirming that the bug still exists.
To fix this problem on my laptop, I had to fix two scripts.
The first script I fixed is /etc/rc0.d/S90halt, where I commented out an "if"
sequence and then replaced the "halt" command, as noted below:
# Don't shut down drives if we're using RAID.
# Eliminate this sequence, assumes RAID and kernel already does this
for IDE drives
# hddown="-h"
# if grep -qs '^md.*active' /proc/mdstat
# then
# hddown=""
# fi
# If INIT_HALT=HALT don't poweroff.
poweroff="-p"
if [ "$INIT_HALT" = "HALT" ]
then
poweroff=""
fi
log_action_msg "Will now halt"
sleep 1
# halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown
# Not sure what the -d does, but seems to do no harm
halt -d -f $poweroff
The second script I fixed is /etc/rc6.d where I changed the do_stop function,
as noted below:
do_stop () {
# Message should end with a newline since kFreeBSD may
# print more stuff (see #323749)
log_action_msg "Will now restart"
# Remove -i since kernel takes care of IDE drives
# reboot -d -f -i
reboot -d -f
}
These two take care of the IDE devices message.
On my laptop, the BIOS is dated 1999, which causes the boot to NOT load ACPI.
This means that many of the power functions do not work. To fix that part of
the problem, I added the a line with "apm power_off=1" to the end of
the /etc/modules file. This is shown below with the comments that I added to
remind me what I did!! My full /etc/modules file is as follows:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

# This note is carried over from Kubuntu 7.10
# JHG 2-19-08 Tested /etc/init.d/halt and made changes that are
# related to "halt: ... " message on shutdown; incomplete power off.
# This is O.K. Have corrected S90halt and S90reboot to eliminate
the "halt: ... "
# notice. Took out the references to "hddown=", not needed, no RAID.
# Took out reboot -i and halt -i since kernel takes care of IDE drives.
apm power_off=1
These changes eliminate the "IDE devices" message and allow my laptop to
completely power down during shutdown. I hope this helps you somehow.
I thank you for confirming that the error is still in 8.10, so I will save
these changes and add them back into to my 8.10 -- when I load Intrepid Ibex
in the next couple of weeks.
