[gentoo-user] cannot completely shut down my system from command line
John covici
shutdown my system with something like shutdown -r now -- it gets into
a state where it says
init: no more processes in this run level, but it never will restart
or shutdown if I use -h. How in the heck do I even debug such a thing
or fix?
Thanks in advance for any good ideas.

How do

Having similar problems with latest min-install in a netbook. Shutdown
-some-option doesn't do the trick. ctrl-alt-delete just freezes the
console until I hold down the power button.

Did you enable ACPI in your kernel configuration?

I've seen this kind of thing on systems with buggy hardware and/or
BIOS. It may not be a Linux or Gentoo problem.

I have a similar issue on my laptop after upgrading to the kernel 2.6.29.
The alsasound service wont stop.... i have to unload the snd_hda_intel module
first (it is an alsa related issue).
If it is the same problem you could add "modprobe -r snd_hda_intel"
in /etc/conf.d/local.stop or /etc/conf.d/local.
Ciao

Same problem, but with xorg drivers (radeon) on a stable system. If I
exit xorg and then issue shutdown from console it works fine.

UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no"
in /etc/conf.d/alsasound helps for me.
