I jest pull de plug outta de wall! </comedy> It has happened with both straight kernel, and patched. Incidentally, Andrew, thanks for that patch. And thanks to James Simmons too, for that Makefile fix. I get (on a Mandrake 7.2+bits of 8 system) roughly: Starting killall script [OK} Setting hardware clock to system time [OK] Unmounting filesystems [OK] The system is halted. <===== issued by rc script Power Down. <========= issued by printk ... and it stops there... instead of turning the power off like it did under 2.2.18 and earlier. No kernel oops message. Also, SysRq-O doesn't work - it just puts SysRq: up on the screen. The other SysRq functions I've tried work - (Kill), (Sync), (reBoot).
