Hello, I'm not sure whether I should have posted this to questions or current (since it's an issue with a recent current) or some other list, but hear me out and perhaps point me in the right direction? I recently upgraded a play about box from an older current to one .. a day before the preemption issues arose. All is well, except I found the box would no longer shutdown automatically using shutdown -p and hitting the power button would just put the box into a sort of suspend or sleep state. Well, just now I looked at dmesg and came across this message "ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor.".. I believe this is most likely the cause. I can't remember exactly what BIOS or motherboard is in there but I can have a look if that is needed. Can anyone tell me why it's been blacklisted anyway? I didn't used to have any problems with it at all on the older CURRENT. In fact I was quite impressed that I could turn it off, cleanly, by just hitting the power button! I'll mess around and see if I can get ACPI loaded anyway somehow and see if there's any ill effects with it. Well anyway, thanks in advance!
