Subject: Re: [PATCH] (repost) Fix SMP poweroff hangs

Doesn't fix for me!

I have an Athlon x2 running on a Asus A8N-E mobo which has an NForce 4
chipset, I thought this patch would fix poweroff for me too, but it doesn't.

I'm seing this on 2.6.23-rc8 with and without your patch, here is what I get
on the console:

Shutdown: hdd
Shutdown: hda
System halted.

Nothing else pops up.

When I hadn't put your patch if I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del after the System halted
message I could then see these messages:

md: stopping all md devices.
md: md1 sill in use.

But no reboot would take place. I have not tested this Ctrl+Alt+Del thing
with your patch, but I think it still behaves like that (not rebooting).

I'm attaching my .config.

Regards...
