Regression: Computer doesn't poweroff

[drcouzelis]

When performing the "Shutdown" command, my computer does not shutdown completely. Instead, it "hangs" just before powering off the computer, with the message "Shutting down...".

I tested nightly builds until I found when it stopped working:

hrev41505 (2011-05-14) Computer will shutdown and poweroff correctly.

hrev41539 (2011-05-18) Computer will shutdown but fail to poweroff.

I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA770-DS3 motherboard: ​http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128081

Please let me know if I can provide more information. Thank you.

The regression occurred here:

hrev41512 - Shutdown works correctly

hrev41513 - Computer doesn't shutdown correctly

Please see ticket #8588. Thank you.

drcouzelis: perhaps it would be worth trying hrev44340 or newer.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried hrev44348. I'm afraid this bug is not resolved.

...Actually, I found out now my ethernet card no longer works. :( I'll do more tests to find the problem.

Ok, I finished testing. My ethernet card apparently works fine with the latest builds. Maybe it was a stale config file problem. I don't know. :P

Anyway, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear above: This bug was introduced at the same time as ticket #8588. The "patch" I provided that fixes #8588 also fixes this bug.

I say "patch" in quotes because, as is recorded on the other ticket, it fixes my problems but introduces problems for other people. Which is too bad, because I thought I had a nice normal open source software friendly Gigabyte motherboard. It makes me wonder how many computers need my patch to work and how many don't need it to work. :/

Same problem as #8588.
