Linux server hangs on shutdown

I've had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.

Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it's restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.

What I've tried:

  • setting "acpi=off" and "acpi=force" kernel parameters in grub
  • removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
  • changing distros

nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:

  • systemd
  • cockpit
  • libvirt & qemu
  • docker

does anyone have advice? nothing i've seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions

Interesting. BIOS update? Maybe check through all the settings, or do a factory reset on the BIOS? I have a similar board (H510 something) running proxmox and it works fine.

@potentiallynotfelix As a diagnostic, I would suggest trying shutting them down by ssh in and then using systemctl to shut them down, if that works then you know the issue is with cockpit. If it hangs even when systemd is asked to halt then I would consider reverting to the previous bios and see if the problem persists.

Ok. Cockpit uses the shutdown command to shut down[src], but systemctl poweroff might work. I will also attempt to revert bioses if msi supports it. thank you very much!

@potentiallynotfelix Well flash to an older and see how it goes. I've seen some wired bios issues. I've got an i7=6850k machine on an Asus motherboard, and after I flashed to the latest bios, the USB power strobed on and off every few seconds so keyboard and mouse would work then not work then work then not work. I thought something was broken with hardware but then found others had the same issue with the most current BIOS, flashed to one release earlier and all good.

Monitor output after shutting down:

I've given it 6 hours or so to shut down, so it's almost 100% a hang not a slow shutdown

I don't have an Nvidia GPU so I don't have any experience with it but a quick search brought me to Nvidias website and the instructions seem to line up with users answers on other forums.

Disable it here docs.nvidia.com/ai-enterprise/… or apparently installing Nvidias proprietary drivers automatically blacklists Nouveau.
