Hello Sebastien,

quoted

When running my configured kernel in Qemu, poweroff does not work
properly: the machine is halted but the kvm process that runs it does
not terminate, whereas it does so when powering off the machine after
having booted a regular Debian kernel.

Current kernel configuration: http://paste.debian.net/233958/

Can anobody see what's missing or misconfigured?

Does it only happen with your kernel or with any kernel?

Just with my kernel. When I boot on the kernel built by Debian, things
work fine, which is what has lead me to suspect a wrong kernel
configuration.

I had similar
issue(but it was with any kernel, not only with custom kernels) on
Fedora, and for fixing I needed to install ACPI packages on Fedora.

Ah that's interestng to know! Thanks!

Since it is kernel-specific I guess the bug report does nothelp, at
least I was not able to find informationin it butperhaps I overlooked?

Cheers,

S?bastien.
