I have a Pentium II, intel 233mhz Viper 330 4mb AGP video card, Seagate Medallist Pro 2.5gb IDE HDD 128mb Ram Iomega Zip SCSI Insider Yamaha 4260t SCSI CDRW Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card NEC Multisync 3D monitor Am running Redhat 5.2 on hda1 (boot from floppy) no problems. Redhat 6.0 runs on hda6 Swap is hda5, used by both distro's. Multi boot from Lilo. PROBLEM:- when shutting down Redhat 6.0, after either booting from Lilo or from floppy, shutdown gets to "system is halted" ok, but then says "stopping all md devices" and scrolls junk on screen until I hit the Powerioff switch. I know from Usenet that there are at least 2 other persons with this problem using Redhat 6.0, and at least 3 persons with similar problems using Mandrake 6.0 I'm a relative Newbie, but have had no problems with Redhat 5.2. Have installed Redhat 6.0 twice to date - first time without Gnome but with KDE, second time with Gnome and KDE.
what happens if you change the last line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt from eval $command -i -d -p to eval $command -i -d ?
Red Hat 6.0 ships with 2.2.5-15 kernels with APM enabled by default. This works fine with most APM compliant BIOS's. It is possible that the APM features of your motherboard are not fully compliant and you get the junk when the kernel is trying to tell the motherboard to turn off after everything else is stopped. The best way to fix this is to recompile your kernel with the "power off on shutdown" disabled. If this doesnt work then you can reopen the bug. ------- Email Received From bill <ocker> 06/22/99 00:12 -------
