Hi group, |

Here's a switch: a computer that refuses to turn OFF. When I open a |
4 |
root console and enter shutdown -h now my eee 900A Asus Intel-n270 |
5 |
freezes with the message: |
6 |
|
7 |
The system is going down for a system halt NOW! |

|

Looking at ctrl alt F12, after the usual, normal messages there is this: |
10 |
|
11 |
<...> |
12 |
:mtrr:no MTRR for d0000000,10000000 found |
13 |
:cpufreqd: term_handler :Caught TERM signal (Terminated), forcing exit. |
14 |
|
15 |
and at ctrl alt F7 I see: |
16 |
|
17 |
<...> |
18 |
*Stopping CPU Frequency Daemon ... [ok] |
19 |
*Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ... [ok] |
20 |
*Killing processes using ALSA ... [ok] |
21 |
*Unloading ALSA modules ... [ok] |

This happened yesterday too when I clicked the 'quit' button on the |
24 |
Xfce4 desktop, so I tried it manually from a console to see if it |
25 |
would make any difference. Not a bit of it. |
26 |
|
27 |
Now I have to hold down the off/on button and pray the SSD doesn't |
28 |
croak when I reboot. Very scary messages about non-contiguous files |
29 |
and a forced reboot. |

FWIW this only started after installing alsa-utils and configuring the |
32 |
sound card(Intel 82801G) according to alsa-guide.xml |
