> FreeBSD 3.0 will turn off the laptop (on my Libretto 70) with > shutdown -h. What is wrong with this? It is wrong. In traditional UNIX, if you want to power-off, use another command shutdown -h, example halt -p or shutdown -x. Because, anytime shutdown -h, not want to power-off, sometime want go to ROM monitor. # PC/AT arch has not ROM monitor, but it is PC/AT arch depend problem. In Linux, when shutdown -h, choice power-off or halt only by config-option. Second problem, 3.0-RELEASE's implement problem. It is hard cording in src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c:cpu_power_down(). If you want to add new power-control mechanism, you must change that code. My patch using at_shutdown() for registration power-control routine, so change power-control driver only. See PR i386/8638. -- NAKAGAWA, Yoshihisa y-nakaga@nwsl.mesh.ad.jp nakagawa@jp.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
