Your BIOS is crashing after being told to power the machine off. Your options are a) try upgrading the BIOS b) apply an experimental patch that switches to real mode before powering off (it's in 2.2.15pre18) c) remove the '-p' from the last line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt, (this tells it not to try to power the machine off.) I have the same problem, same cpu, Epox EP-MVP3G motherboard 7.16.99 Award BIOS v4.51 PG. Maybe it is a bug in the halt code for power off for an AMD K6-2? Also came up with the same solution (ie. remove -p from halt command). PS MeSsy Win98 shuts down and powers off ok (on those ever rarer occasions it gets the opportunity). |
