Details

Since a kernel upgrade two days ago when 2.6.38.2-1-x86_64 was available through pacman I observe several regressions:

- reboot or poweroff command does not complete and stops in a "Rebooting" or "Powering off" line on console, not going further (ACPI related ?) ;
- keyboard under X has erratic typing behaviour every few seconds. My Xorg config has not been changed (attached). ;

Nothing weird or unusual in logs (kernel, message, Xorg). Reverting to 2.6.37.5-1-x86_64 worked and restored proper behaviour.
   xorg.conf (1.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

these are two bugs, could you assign them individual, also these seem to be upstream bugs. Check upstream and report it.

I've since downgraded to 2.6.37, though in 2.6.38 my Xorg didn't work (nvidia) and most important my gigabit ethernet interface stopped working.

Still the same behaviour (acpi, erratic keyboard) with 2.6.38.4-1-x86_64

Please split this bug report into two as requested. Are those bugs reported upstream?
Comment by Bryan (bryan) - Friday, 06 May 2011, 19:39 GMT
Done, forked  FS#24132  for the poweroff/reboot issue. I keep this one for the X11/keyboard issue. (Sorry I can't edit the bug report to remove what's now in the other issue and update the title of this issue).

describe the same behaviour I have with all current 2.6.38 package available in archlinux

The X11/keyboard issue vanished with the 2.6.38.6-2 kernel package. I haven't found in the kernel logs http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.38.y.git what could have fixed this issue, so it may not be a kernel issue at all.

This issue is still present on my machine as of current date. With kernel 2.6.39-ARCH. I've reported said problem upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33872
