diff between the two kernel configuration files

[Comment 4 Wormo (RETIRED) 2008-10-13 06:44:49 UTC]

Do any messages appear in dmesg after you run poweroff?

I don't see anything, and I did some tests (recording only the shutdown procedure via /var/log/messages) and with the exception of the timestamps they look identical to me.

kernel configuration file for gentoo-sources-2.6.27

/sbin/poweroff works with this kernel (2.6.27-gentoo)

[Comment 7 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2008-10-14 19:02:22 UTC]

This is likely a regression in the acpi code in the -r2 revision that was fixed through 2.6.27

[Comment 8 Mike Pagano 2008-10-19 19:29:04 UTC]

Fixed in 2.6.27, released in gentoo-sources-2.6.27.
