,--- I/Alex (Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:44:29 -0500) ----* | Thank you: over the next few days, I am planning to attempt a BIOS | upgrade and enter a PR with an ACPI dump
Did both -- the BIOS upgrade did not help. There is more information than listed in the PR, if anybody is interested (and, of course, I can do more experimenting on demand). | Another thing about ACPI in NetBSD that bothers me: "halt -p" not | always powers off a computer. | | I *think* I didn't forget the `-p' option to `halt' last night -- | still, the machine was halted without switching off. Tried this again, on the laptop, submitting `halt -p' in an `xterm' window displayed elsewhere -- the laptop doesn't power off, with the old or new BIOS. -- Alex -- alex-goncha...@comcast.net --
