A took a quick look and _PTS simply sets some variables for EC. So please contact Asus, because we don't know what EC expects.

Issue description: issuing the command "shutdown -h now" or "poweroff -f" doesn't shutdown the system properly, the system hangs is S5. This doesn't happen all the time, but randomly, let's say in about 30% of cases. This happens not only with an installed system but also with the bootable usb installer. How to replicate: I really don't know, it seems very random, without a pattern. Motherboard: ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS with bios v. 5802 (dated 2015/10/15) CPU: 2x intel Xeon E5-2687w (SR0KG) After trying different proposed solutions for the "hanging at shutdown" issue (mostly by enabling/disabling things in grub and different kernels down to 4.9) I found out that only a DSDT fix solves the issue, and in particular in the _PTS method. Basically this is the original part of the extracted DSDT: Method (_PTS, 1, NotSerialized) // _PTS: Prepare To Sleep { If (((Arg0 == 0x04) && (OSFL () == 0x02))) { Sleep (0x0BB8) } PTS (Arg0) DBG8 = Arg0 WAKP [Zero] = Zero WAKP [One] = Zero WSSB = ASSB /* \ASSB */ WOTB = AOTB /* \AOTB */ WAXB = AAXB /* \AAXB */ ASSB = Arg0 AOTB = OSFL () AAXB = Zero \_SB.SLPS = One } The fix (or better call it workaround) includes a "do nothing" if Arg0 is 0x05 (state S5): Method (_PTS, 1, NotSerialized) { If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x05)) {} Else { Store (Arg0, DBG8) If (LAnd (LEqual (Arg0, 0x04), LEqual (OSFL (), 0x02))) { Sleep (0x0BB8) } PTS (Arg0) Store (Zero, Index (WAKP, Zero)) Store (Zero, Index (WAKP, One)) Store (ASSB, WSSB) Store (AOTB, WOTB) Store (AAXB, WAXB) Store (Arg0, ASSB) Store (OSFL (), AOTB) Store (Zero, AAXB) Store (One, \_SB.SLPS) } } I really don't know why without injecting the DSDT fix it hangs randomly at shutdown. I reported the issue to the kernel bugtracker too, but it seems there's not much movement there :D I hope this can be fixed kernel side: For reference, this is the link to the kernel bugtracker: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210689 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1909115/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
