Hello,
I use an fully updated Arch installation with kernel 2.6.32.4. When I poweroff my machine by giving as root the command "halt" I got after the last blue message that you get by shutting down, the following error:
Note: poweroff [2300] exited with preempt_count 2
/etc/rc.shutdown: line 146: 2300 Segmentation fault /sbin/poweroff -d -f -h -i
Before this error I got a lot of un understandable text.
I thought this was a ACPI problem and changed the ACPI setting from S1 to S3, but it didn't solve the problem. So I changed the ACPI setting back to S1. I also tried to disable ACPI, but that didn't solved the problem, so ACPI is still enabled.
Could someone help me?
Kind regards,
Jozef00

Hi dan.boff,
Thanks for your reply.
I read the submitted article, but for me as non programmer it is hard to understand. So do you know if there is a workaround available for this problem?
Kind regards,

Pull that in, and rebuild the kernel. Alternative: roll back to a previous kernel and wait till it's fixed upstream and packaged by the Arch devs.

the new kernel in testing (kernel 2.6.32-5) seems to have changed something. now I get another error.
it says only preempt count 2, the part about rc.shutdown doesn't appear

Thank you all very much for your replies.
I will wait for a new upstream kernel that solves the problem. I will set the problem to solved, because there is a solution available.
Kind regards,
