Unable to power off via init 5 on Solaris 10 5/09

807559Aug 19 2009 — edited Sep 1 2009

I installed Solaris 10 5/09 at my home PC. The mother board is Asus P5QL-EM. I have checked that all major hardware/chipsets are on HCL.

Now I have problem power off the machine via 'init 5'. 'Init 5' will stop all services, sync file system then leaves the machine in a state of black screen, no keyboard response. But the machine is still powered on, fans are running.

If I bring the system to single user mode by 'init s', then 'init5' from single user mode, sometimes I can power it off completely but not every time.

I guess the problem is between the bios acpi interface and the kernel drivers, but just do know from where to start the investigation. Any idea?
