Hi Joel & PA,

I also have the same, or at least similar problem on my c3700
(2.6.15-rc1-pa1, 2.6.15-rc5-pa3, debian/testing):
A 'shutdown' or 'reboot' does nothing except the wallop, and it seems that
(tel)init doesn't react to signals in general.
Also hitting the poweroff button just powers off the machine after a
certain amount
of time (around 30-60s), but the 'init 6' it should trigger doesn't work, thus
I have unchecked filesystems on the next boot.

This leads me to another, rather unrelated bug:
I only use xfs and it works almost flawlessly, except that it should
cope with a sudden
reboot, being a journaled filesystem and all ...
however due to the init/shutdown bug I often have to run a xfs_check,
and even a 'xfs_repair -L' in order to be able to mount the
filesystems again on the next boot.
Strangely the root fs was not affected so far, and luckily I didn't
have any file
corruption/loss so far (I had to use xfs_repair about 20 times by now).


(Un)fortunately I'm on vacation in Germany right now, so I cannot test/debug
the problem until mid-January.

Greetings,
   Max


PS: I wish you all a happy New Year :)
