I think that error also appears when you have the module but not the device it is supposed to be used for. I had tried loading a Toshiba module on my Dell laptop and it gave me a "No such device" error, but the person I was helping ran it on his Toshiba and it worked fine.


yeah thats it I have the module it not being used

thanks pizasgood

the good news is it does shutdown correctly

I just need to know why not on an official puppy
this really needs to get fixed

I m glad there are others interested in this too

Along with one or two others, I've been reporting this defect for years. This is a unique Puppy feature. In principle, a direct comparison of Puppy code with how other developers do things should provide the answer? But who am I to ....

Hi big_bass,
I have been one of the "few" who have had problems with shutdown; please see my post in this thread dated 27 jan 09.
So I downloaded your pup tonight and for the very first time my test PC shuts down and ctrl+alt+backspace reboots the x-server (rather than crashes the system) without needing to add acpi=force to grub.

As an aside it seems to boot much quicker than standard 410, 412, 420. Not sure how fair a comparison this is though. Sorry, very tired tonight but will try to time it tomorrow to compare.

Congratulations! Whatever you did, please keep it up! Smile

EDIT:
In the light of day I did a quick and dirty test and sorry but it doesn't boot any faster. Perhaps I was fooling myself by the speed at which the text flew by on the boot-up screen.
