No. I only build UP kernels for the C3k.

After a reboot it worked fine. Could be a timing problem.
Since I can't reproduce it reliably and it's minor, I'm not
going to chase this. Someday when I get bored and ate too much
chocolate (dark, organic, Belgian from Trader Joe's), I might
try to run IRC on the LCD... ;^)

Ok. that makes sense.

./kernel/sys.c:         printk(KERN_EMERG "Power down.\n");

That chunk of code seems to do the right thing:
        case LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF:
                notifier_call_chain(&reboot_notifier_list, SYS_POWER_OFF, NULL);
                printk(KERN_EMERG "Power down.\n");
                machine_power_off();
                do_exit(0);
                break; 

I know that msg since I regularly "powerdown" my c3k.
Perhaps replicate that code?

cheers,
