Title: With CorePure64 (and Core) 17.0 my PC doesn't turn off...
Post by: Nigromante on March 07, 2026, 08:24:22 PM

Hi,

Something funny happens to me with TC-17 on a couple of PC's.

One is a very old 32-bit machine (I'm not in such a hurry to update to TC-17 on this one). It has a 1.2GHz Celeron Tualatin and only 384MB of RAM. The GPU is an old i830.

TC-15 was the last version that worked well on it (although with some issues with X).

TC-16 and TC-17 work, but the PC won't shutdown...  :'(

It doesn't matter if I use "sudo poweroff" or the desktop icon, the PC simply won't turn off. (I need to use the physical power button.)

This problem (not shutting down), along with others, also happens to me with TC-17 (CorePure64 17.0) on a notebook with an Intel N2805 (the machine works well with TC-15, CorePure64 15.0).

The situation here is a bit worse. TC-17 only starts with the "base" bootcode, if not, it freezes.

X starts after I do

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i xf86-video-intel Xorg-7.7-3d wbar aterm flwm_topside
But I have to shutdown using the power button on the machine :(...

On the old PC, after using "sudo poweroff," I get:

Code: [Select]

...
EXT4-fs (sda7): Inode 1 (72206467): inode tracked as orphan!
Shutdown in progress.
blah
blah
blah...
(My TCE directory is on sda7.) 

On the notebook, I get:

Code: [Select]

...
EXT4-fs (sda3): unmounting filesystem (... long alphanumeric string of 36 digits)..
Shutdown in progress.
blah
blah
blah...
(My TCE directory is on sda3).

Why is this happening?...

you might find inspiration at reading this post, as well as the thread in general

also, three minutes is longer than _many_ users can stand to wait.

Hi, gadget42.

Thanks for the info.

I had previously used the boot code "acpi=off" (along with other kernel boot codes, such as "noapic") on the machine with the N2805 (notebook). I had also seen the option to disable WOL in the BIOS. There's information about it on other distro forums.

On the old 32-bit machine, those codes (acpi=off and noapic) have no effect whatsoever. (Actually, they do: a kernel panic when using "acpi=off". XD) On the notebook, with CorePure64 17.0, I have no sound even though my sound card is recognized.

I was curious to know if anyone on Tiny Core had experienced something similar.

Anyway, I'll keep investigating... ;)
