The thread is specifically about the Tyan S2462:
I have a Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 motherboard. I was hoping to get
power-down to work. So I installed FreeBSD current with ACPI
enabled. When I typed "shutdown -p now" the computer halted, and
then the video card switched off, and the fans kept running. The
computer was frozen - even the power-off power-on button wouldn't
work.
Actually the power-off button doesn't work at all under
FreeBSD-current. (It is a soft power-off button that dmesg shows is
detected by the OS.)
I should add that power-down works great with Windows 2000. Also,
the power-off button works properly with FreeBSD-stable.
perhaps people aren't reading before replying.
I also own a Tyan S2462 Thunder K7 system and it behaves just as the
poster stated.
