The same problem/question for me. Is it a problem with the USB legacy support? I have this problem since i have a USB Keybord and USB Mouse  Have you the memory supported in system profile? I have this problem too  My Mobo is AsRock P4 Dual-915gl Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9442-cant-shutdown/#findComment-59053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixding Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'v disabled the USB legacy support, it doesn't work. And I tried USB mouse+PS2 keyboard before: 1. kb doesn't work, I can reboot, but I can't shutdown. 2. if I choose SLEEP in OSX then wake it up by moving my mouse, then the kb works, I can neither reboot nor shutdown  I guess the problem has sth to do with the ACPI thing.

R. Bear Helms Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 It's the platform and the not very polished support of same. ACPI has a bunch of ways BIOS can make it so that things wake the system, from an ethernet signal to the USB port. Heck, I can even program my BIOS to make the system power up if I move the USB mouse LEFT! Yeah, great invention! Â I can shutdown, but not restart. Â I learned that if you are restarting and are just looking at a blue screen with that little twizzling "O" like pattern, that's it waiting for the reset hardware to kick in. You're safe to press the system RESET at that stage. Â I thought all ATA power supplies were shut off using the same I/O sequence, but I guess this too is a motherboard driver kind of issue, and I'm guessing OS X isn't very diverse.

FullMetal Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Could this be a BIOS setting problem then? Â I have AMI BIOS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9442-cant-shutdown/#findComment-61232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmesal Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have the AsrockP4Dual MB too, I hade this problem since I installed OSX10.4.3. I made some changes in the BIOS like dissable legacy USB and used PS2 mouse&keyboard, the problem was gone eccept som times when I hade mine USB web camera was connected it couldent power down. Then I installed OSX10.4.4 in an additional partion on my second HD, evrything worked as I expected, but the powerdown problem came back again, this time it refuse to shutdown totaly dispite I dont any USB devices connected. I belive this is a kernel-ACPI issue hope that XXX will fix it in next release.

felixding Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes, I guess it is caused by ACPI too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9442-cant-shutdown/#findComment-61415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miranda Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Same problem here on 10.4.4 Will try 10.4.5 soon... seems to be fixed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9442-cant-shutdown/#findComment-66808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmesal Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yes! OSX10.4.5 fixet the shuttdown problem. One thing imazing is that you have to copy over the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from 10.4.4 inorder to funktion. Considering that 10.4.5 using the same kernel, it is very odd that the problem will be fixet this way. I beleve that there must be something else that been fixed too.
