I jest pull de plug outta de wall! </comedy> It has happened with both straight kernel, and patched. Incidentally, Andrew, thanks for that patch. And thanks to James Simmons too, for that Makefile fix. I get (on a Mandrake 7.2+bits of 8 system) roughly: Starting killall script [OK} Setting hardware clock to system time [OK] Unmounting filesystems [OK] The system is halted. <===== issued by rc script Power Down. <========= issued by printk ... and it stops there... instead of turning the power off like it did under 2.2.18 and earlier. No kernel oops message. Also, SysRq-O doesn't work - it just puts SysRq: up on the screen. The other SysRq functions I've tried work - (Kill), (Sync), (reBoot). Thanks for your continued monitoring. -- /| _,.:*^*:., |\ Cheers from the Viking family, | |_/' viking@ `\_| | including Pippin, our cat | flying-brick | $FunnyMail Bilbo : Now far ahead the Road has gone, \_.caverock.net.nz_/ 5.39 in LOTR : Let others follow it who can! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Which patch was that? Gee! 8-) and you suggested it to me! It was the patch against 2.4.3-pre6 which corrected the system clock slowing down, due to the interrupts being disabled for too long in framebuffer mode. Well, it worked! I'm using it now, and as I mentioned in the past email, my only trouble now is the non-powering down of the machine. Ah well, again, thanks for monitoring.And here's a few lines to add to that patch too...your patch had neglected to turn on printk for all modules, and when I compiled my kernel, that was fine, but my modules couldn't see printk()! --- linux-2.4.3-pre6/kernel/Makefile Sun Apr 15 20:00:00 2001 +++ lk/kernel/Makefile Sun Apr 15 21:00:00 2001 @@ -12,1 +12,1 @@ - export-objs = signal.o sys.o kmod.o context.o ksyms.o pm.o + export-objs = signal.o sys.o kmod.o context.o ksyms.o pm.o printk.o Thanks again. -- /| _,.:*^*:., |\ Cheers from the Viking family, | |_/' viking@ `\_| | including Pippin, our cat | flying-brick | $FunnyMail Bilbo : Now far ahead the Road has gone, \_.caverock.net.nz_/ 5.39 in LOTR : Let others follow it who can! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
