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.

Vers LK1.1.17 > phy=0, phyx=24, mii_status=0xffff > phy=1, phyx=0, mii_status=0xffff 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. - ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

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. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

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.
