Hi all,
It seems shutdown -p does not work as described in shutdown(8):
-p The system is halted and the power is turned off (hardware
support required) at the specified time.
I _do_ have hardware support, I have a recent BIOS, and dmesg tells me:
apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard
apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2
I have compiled APM support in my kernel:
device apm0 at nexus?
When I execute a shutdown -p, it just halts, the power isn't turned off.
My system is a recent FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (~2 weeks old), Pentium 2,
dmesg tells me:
CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (400.91-MHz 686-class CPU)
chip1: <Intel 82371AB Power management controller> port 0x5000-0x500f
at device 7.3 on pci0
pcib0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
Does anyone have a clue? Is there anyone out there that has this feature
actually working? I've tried this on 3.3-S and 4.0-S before, but I could
never get it to work. And a friend of mine, running 4.0-S and now 4.1-S,
reported the same problem.
Any ideas ?
Ernst
