>Description:
I was asked by Jared McNeill to test the ACPI functionality of the NetBSD 4.99.60 (GENERIC) kernel he was working on. My computer is a Compaq ProLiant DL360 G1 with dual P3/1GHz processors, 1152MB ram, and a ServerWorks chipset. Using the NetBSD-4.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) kernel, my computer would freeze during boot if ACPI was enabled in the kernel. The NetBSD 4.99.60 (GENERIC) kernel booted fine with or without ACPI, however when I ran 'shutdown -r now', it would kill all processes, unmount the drives, and then just sit. It would not automatically reboot with or wihout ACPI enabled. If ACPI was enabled, I would have to hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn the power off at that time. If ACPI was not enabled, momentarily pressing the power button would turn the power off immediately at that point.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD-i386-4.0-RELEASE on a Compaq ProLiant DL360 G1
Copy the NetBSD 4.99.60 (GENERIC) kernel into /
Reboot
SU to root
Type 'shutdown -r now'
>Fix:
A workaround exists: Manually pressing the power button to power-cycle the computer.

 Note that as of a couple of months ago, the same generation DL580 system
 also with a ServerWorks chipset reboots OK with ACPI. I can try a newer
 kernel on it.

 I don't know what might be the cause, but in time when the per-cpu
 poll/select changes were committed, my system started to not able
 to shutdown properly.

 Just then the S5 sleep state is entered the system hangs. I've been
 having this problem for 1 month or so probably.

 We don't use ACPI for reboot on x86, so we should hit the same code path 
 regardless.

 I wonder how far along it is getting into the reboot sequence. I don't see
 why we strobe the reset pin via the keyboard controller when triple faulting
 is more likely to work everywhere.

    I saw the same thing with a DL360 G1, and tracked it down to revision 
 1.113 of sys/dev/pci/pci.c.  Undoing that change [I just commented out the 
 code in pci_child_shutdown()] allowed the machine to shutdown again.

    I think later I added a second CPU to the machine, and then it is unable 
 to boot MP with ACPI disabled, so I've been just booting without ACPI.  [I 
 really need to submit a PR on that problem some day.]
