Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
another >sigh< from an Arietta adventure... |
4 |
|
5 |
I sintalled Gentoo on an Arietta G25 |
6 |
(http://www.acmesystems.it/arietta). |
7 |
|
8 |
For this I used Robert Nelsons Kernel for armv5tel platforms, |
9 |
which boots fine (using at91bootstrap, no U-Boot). |
10 |
|
11 |
But: Shutdown (as recommmended by acmesystems "shutdown -h -H now") |
12 |
REBOOTS the system instead of powering it down. |
13 |
|
14 |
The hardware is not to blame: Using the original Debian rootfs |
15 |
and the kernel 3.16.1 (Robert Nelsons kernel is 3.17.3.) the |
16 |
powerdown works fine. |
17 |
|
18 |
Firstly I blamed the kernel...but when using the 3.16.1 kernel |
19 |
and the Gentoo rootfs the problem remains. |
20 |
|
21 |
Then I copied the Gentoo shutdown to the Debian rootfs, boot that |
22 |
and tries to shutdown the Debian Linux with it. |
23 |
shutdown cries "no /dev/initctl" adn shutdowns the system only for |
24 |
rebooting it. |
25 |
|
26 |
Ok...seems to be the shutdown executable. |
27 |
|
28 |
I copied the Debian shutdown to Gentoo and tries that: |
29 |
The systems reboots. |
30 |
|
31 |
Slowly but surely I begin to think, that I dont understand anything at all of |
32 |
It would be relly good news, |
33 |
that... |
34 |
|
35 |
"man shutdown" on the Debian image informs me, that the manpages |
36 |
were not installed (embedded system...). Shutdown --version gives |
37 |
a short help of the usual options...but nothing more. |
38 |
|
39 |
What is the difference here? |
40 |
Isn't it, that all shutdown applications only send some instructions |
41 |
to the kernel and the kernel is the main actor in bringing the system |
42 |
down? |
43 |
|
44 |
Is there any shutdown guru ;) out there, who is able to shed some |
45 |
light into this problem ? :) |
46 |
|
47 |
Thank you very much in advance for any torch send into my direction! |
48 |
Best regards, |
