Description john_coach 2000-07-10 18:21:40 UTC
shutdown -r now

OK, completely...


shutdown -h now

OK up to:

system halted
unmounting rd ???

then I get what looks like a stack dump of hex addresses filling the
screen...

This is on a fresh 'minimum' installation, because the installing process
would hang
if I went for much more than KDE:

motherboard: spacewalker hot 597

bios: ???u - the latest one to date

processor:amd k6 II 500

memory: 64Mb

cards: video, 2 ethernet, sound, modem (not configured/used)

Your processor/BIOS combination is not handling the request to
power down correctly. There is not much that we can do about it;
it's actually crashing in the BIOS.
