Can you get the exact error message? Is the driver modular?

Hello,
Since I installed the 2.4.19-pre8 kernel on my Athlon 1,3 GHz machine.
The machine wont halt and poweroff any more it just reboots.
Systemhardware
AMD Irongate chipset
NVidia 2MX (nvidia drivers 2880)
SB 64-gold - oss drivers (4front)
SCSI Adaptec 2940UW with A7880 (reproted by kernel)
3COM 3C509 (combo)
RH7.1 with Ximian Gnome 1.4
What could be the problem?
I am currently at work so I cannot answer specific answers because I have that
system not available right now.
For more info, just ask.
Hilbert

That's just a rampant printk - no real problem. The
3c59x update was, err, somewhat unexpected. I've actually
asked Marcelo to back out to the 2.4.18 version because
there has been one report of a transceiver selection failure
with the 2.4.19-pre8 driver.
The thing's totally fragile, I'm afraid. It supports 32 different
devices, of which I have five. If you change anything, you break
something, and for some types of cards it takes months before
you hear about the breakage.

The Nvidia drivers are not supported by the open source community.
Firstly please boot without the Nvidia drivers getting loaded at all. If the
problem still occurs check you built both the old and new kernel with the
same APM options.

I know, I have seen this before in the list.

I did quite a lot of reboots. I could reproduce it in the pre4 kernel.
My last try at the kernels. When I coppied the pre8 .config in the pre4
tree, and remade the kernel I got the same problem.
So after quite a bit of fiddeling I blame it on a non fully functional
ACPI so I switched back to the APM and the shutdown -h is functioning as
it should.
Attached are the configuration files of the 2.4.18-pr4 kernel with a
working and with a diff to the not working kernel (working meaning yes
or no powerdown).
I can not find anything that indicates a possibility.
I switched back to APM and it is working. with nvidia drivers and 4front
drivers.
Reason for switching to 2.4.19-pre8 is stability, I had random freezes.
I did not have them again in this series.
