I was thinking some more about this...I read somewhere that the 2.4 kernel
uses /proc events and the 2.6 kernel uses /sys events and that if you're using
old scripts with a new kernel "halt" won't work because it's trying to turn off
/proc events. Does that make sense? How would I know what my system is
doing? (Debian unstable.)

I'm not sure how I'd check. :/

thanks for all of your ideas about my problem! I appreciate it. :)
