Comment 161 for bug 43961

I have a problem here, when I shut down without splash, the last two lines are
- will now halt
- [xxxx.xxxxxx] power down.
where the x's are digits.

as for now, I shut down the pc manually by pressing the shutdown button for more than 6 secs (but I often forget, resulting in a pc running overnight :( )

specs:
Edgy Eft 2.6.17-10-386 (upgraded from Dapper)
asus p5gd2 premium mobo

Note: when I installed Dapper, I had to specify ACPI=off as a kernel parameter in order to be able to boot. The acpi=force and lapic parameters don 't work, then the system hangs at boot.

I attached the logs that were asked in one of the first posts. I 'm very eager to test new suggestions out, as this problem has kept me busy for the past weeks...

thanks in advance !
