From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Issuing the "shutdown -h now" command on Kernel 2.2.19-6.2.12 on RedHat 6.2 performs a "Kernel Oops" at the very end of the shutdown process. The system enjoys an otherwise clean shutdown. The above listed motherboard has both an AT and an ATX power connector, but this error occurred whilst using the AT connector. On previous Kernels, including 2.2.14-5.0 and 2.2.19-6.2.10, the error was more servere in that it generated a heap of hex codes on the screen for several seconds before actually stopping. On some occasions, the shutdown was not successful. On the 2.2.19-6.2.12 Kernel, the shutdown is essentially successful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system as per usual. 2. Log in as root and issue the "shutdown -h now" command. 3. The error occurs every time. Actual Results: The above mentioned error occurs. Expected Results: The last message to be displayed should be "Power Down", and the system should stay there until there is user intervention. Additional info:
