I'm assuming you mean a `shutdown -p now` will not cut the power, as appose= d=20 to the netbook randomly cuts power without warning? > But it's certainly a whole lot better than it was, so thanks for all your > help. =46irst some diagnostics, please do the following: 1) On a console: # uname -a # sysctl debug.acpi 2) What version are you using (I've got the S10e)? 3) What version of the BIOS are you running? 4) Is there any predictors as to when the system will not shutdown? 5) What are the last messages printed on the console (when shutdown fails)? A few things you can try to fix the problem: 1) Go into the BIOS settings (and just exit, this resets some stuff) 2) Try playing with debug.acpi.ec.* (especially with delay [remember a valu= e=20 of 0 disables any delay]). 3) Upgrade to -current (or try a newer version of the ACPICA driver for 7) 4) Flash the BIOS to the latest version (released in May) I don't have the problem that you describe so I'm hoping it results from a= =20 difference between our systems (a difference that can be bridged). =20 > > > I'm still reeling from a packaged based upgrade of Firefox (still took > > > a while, even using packages). > > > > > > Thanks again for your help. > > > > I'll be away for the next 3 weeks so can only help you after that. > > Hope you enjoyed your time away.
