I'm using kernel 2.4.2 and have never been able to shutdown my machine by
software. Neither 2.2.x nor 2.4.x, with and without Real Mode power off.
Bios is broken, no acpi tables can be found:
ACPI-0191: *** Warning: Invalid table signature found
ACPI-0073: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load RSDT: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
ACPI-0101: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_SIGNAT
ACPI: System description table load failed
I tried with ACPI only, APM only and using both.
Real Mode power down reboots the machine and "normal" power down just
crashes (register dump ...).
I read about patches, which fake ACPI tables, and some others which power
down in real mode in a different way(?), but couldn't apply them because
of different kernel versions.
Thank you for any information
