Shutdown / Halt Problem - Bad EIP Value

Shutdown / Halt Problem - Bad EIP Value

[Brent Eckhout]

I've just started using Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma).  It installed successfully but 
whenever I shut down the system, I get an "oops" error--  Bad EIP Value.  It 
looks like it's bombing on the command "halt -i -d -p".  Any suggestions for 
fixing this problem?  

If I need to turn off some auto shutdown functions, that's fine (BIOS or 
others).  I tried a Google search-- there were several folks with similar 
problems but no quick and dirty solutions.

What you need to do is find out which process is causing the EIP, i suggest 
you read /usr/src/linux/Documantation/oops-tracing.txt that will show you 
howto find that out.

Next time you require help please include your kernel version and as much 
information as possable that will help us to help you.

I have redhat-7.2 on my laptop and have no such problems.

I'm not sure if I can capture the console messages as the system is shutting 
down.  I tried killing klogd process and restarting with -f (file) option to 
see if the messages could be written to a file.  However, it looks file 
system is closed and the klogd is shut down before the system executes the 
halt command.  Any suggestions on how to capture the console messages at 
shutdown would be appreciated.

Thanks, 
Brent

You could attach a serial console and see all the messages during shutdown.

See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html

and

http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/3164/1/

as well as your linux/documentation/serial-console.txt file

If you compile a kernel without ACPI or APM support, the messages will just
sit on the screen long enough for you to copy them out by hand. You should be
able to get the same effect by editting the shutdown scripts and removing
the ``-p'' from the halt command line.
