Subject : No power-off / reboot with 2.6.25-rcX (up to -rc3)
FWIW, I have this same problem.
Jeff, does that one ("keep rd->online and cpu_online_map in sync") fix the problem for you?
Nope. I am running baadac8b10c5ac15ce3d26b68fa266c8889b163f now, and it still hangs on reboot or power-off.

Interestingly, if I reboot -immediately- from gdm, it succeeds. However if I login to Fedora GNOME via gdm, and load my standard apps (1001 terminals, firefox, tbird, IRC) reboot and poweroff no longer work.

My guess was always some ACPI regression. I'll bisect today or tomorrow. It is reproducible regression that appeared recently (circa 2.6.24 or 2.6.25-rc1 I think), so I should be able to find the culprit.


Well, after going through several kernel versions (back to 2.6.19 so far), this machine continues to have reboot problems. I'm going to back-burner this, as it is looking more like a hardware or BIOS problem that cropped up recently.
