SysVinit-2.86-alt1 I discovered this while experimenting because of the bug with system clock #14258. $ rpm -q kernel-image-wks-smp-2.6.18-alt1 -i Name : kernel-image-wks-smp Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 2.6.18 Vendor: ALT Linux Team Release : alt1 Build Date: Срд 13 Дек 2006 02:28:15 Install date: Срд 21 Фев 2007 02:43:51 Build Host: bee5.hasher.altlinux.org Group : System/Kernel and hardware Source RPM: kernel-image-wks-smp-2.6.18-alt1.src.rpm Size : 44948311 License: GPL Packager : Konstantin A. Lepikhov <lakostis@altlinux.ru> <....> Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2.6.24-wks-smp-alt1 with clocksource=tsc 2. poweroff 3. Actual Results: At the end, it writes "The system is halted" and nothing happens for 2 min 50 sec. Only then the power is tuned off. Expected Results: Normally, the pause is about 3 sec (e.g., on 2.6.24-wks-smp-alt1 with default options).
A similar effect of clocksource=tsc on the init sequence (a long pause): https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14345 .
I also experienced this delay on 2.6.24-std-def-alt2 with clocksource=tsc. The delay on "The system is halted" was about 1 min, but there was also a delay after the message "Asking all remaining processes to terminate", which lasted about 3 min. (With this option, 2.6.24-std-def-alt2 also has the bad behavior of the system clock: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14258#c18 ). Perhaps, this is not a bug and an expected behavior under this kernel parameter. But I wonder why other programs work without delays then.
Ivan, is it still there?
