Bugzilla – Bug 130156
HP nx8220 version PY515EA
Last modified: 2005-10-25 12:52:58 UTC
I konw that there is bug 116763 related to my issue, but I have different response from my laptop. I installed SuSE 10 on HP nx8220 with ACPI set to off as specified. (I followed HP instructions and Novell recomendations to the letter.) Installation was flawless and hardware detection best so far. Problem is that when I try to shutdown or restart at the end of the process everithing frezzes, same thing happens when I set ACPI=on in GRUB. Sistem does not boot. I have just blank screen. If I need to supply some listing just ask. The notebook in question is HP COMPAQ NX8220, PY515EA.

Can you try kernel parameter "reboot=hard", "reboot=warm", "reboot=cold" and "reboot=bios" and tell us if one of them works? Decreasing severity, since this is not a MAJOR problem.
I can try, "reboot=..." option should be placed in GRUB config in the same line as acpi=off ?
You don't need to add it permanently. Just try the various parameters, you can add them manually when booting the machine.
OK one issue solved with "reboot=bios" system is normaly rebooting. What about second issue, acpi=on causes system not to boot at all. It leaves blank screen and I have to hold power off button for 10s to turn laptop off.
One more thing, what is the parameter for shutdown similar to reboot=bios ? Because system still frezzes when I select Shudown instead reboot.
I fear this one will need ACPI to work. Re-assigning.
#5 and #6 should already be fixed. Could you please try kernel: ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/10_0_kernel_reboot_fix/kernel-default-2.6.13-2.i586.rpm
I'll try this kernel first thing tomorrow morning when I'll have broad-band connection. Can you tell me proper procedure for trying out this kernel, i.e. just rpm -U or ... ? Because current kernel version is 2.6.13-15. ACPI is fixed to ?
Yes, as this has only two minor fixes it is save to override the old kernel with: rpm -Uvh kernel-*.rpm --force (not sure whether the force is needed...). In this case you should not need to adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst. You should be able to boot without pci=noacpi (no guarantee, though). Sorry, #5 could possibly fixed, but I think you will still need the reboot=bios param (You could give it a try without...).
Hi, I have the same problem, after I install the kernel I get the ACPI up and running. But now the vmware is not working so I need det kernel source for 2.6.13-2 so I can reconfig the vmware installation.
This kernel shouldn't mess up vmware, it only has a little pci=noacpi (which shouldn't boot with the old kernel when the param is missing) and a rather safe reboot/shutdown fix. Use the same boot options (maybe without pci=noacpi something else goes still wrong?) you used when vmware worked and it should still work. I will close this one now. If there should be any other issues left or something still be unfixed, please open a separate bug, so that we don't loose the overview... If you could be so kind and set/add a short article on: http://www.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/HP This could be quite helpful for others ...
It is fixed I tried kernel, ACPI is working now, rebooting is working, I left reboot=bios. And I'm editing opensuse article right now. This change will be incorporated in next kernel update via YOU ?
Yes, I wonder why it hasn't been released yet, I think it will be done as soon as aj comes back from holiday...
