Hi, all. I just upgraded to 2.6.9-rc3 from a 2.6.8.1 based kernel, and my laptop is no longer powering off. Sometimes, the screen powers off, sometimes it sits there saying "Power Down", but in either case, the power LED is still lit, and a hard power-off is necessary. This did not happen with 2.6.8.1. I tried booting with acpi=off (as there was a report of shutdown weirdness due to acpi on 2.6.9-rc1), but that did not help. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, with a Pentium-M 1500, and Centrino chipset. Attached is lscpi, cpuinfo, /proc/modules, and config for the 2.6.9-rc3 kernel that fails. Linux version 2.6.9-rc3 (dang@athena) (gcc version 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2, ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5)) #1 Wed Oct 6 15:02:35 EDT 2004 Daniel
