Kernel "Oops" output

Kernel "Oops" output

[Aubrey Kilpatrick]

Hello,

I have a K6-2D 333MHz system with Red Hat 7.0 (with updates) that gives the
following "oops" output when I execute the "shutdown -h now" command.  I
tried to find the "opps" output in the /var/log/messages file but there is
nothing there.  The system hangs at the last line of the oops output to the
screen and will not accept any commands.  The only recourse at this point is
to "CTRL-ALT-DEL" and let the system reboot.

The oops out follows:

Power down

end of oops output and system hangs.

If there is additional system/hardware info you need to fix this problem
please let me know and I will be glad to try and get it for you.

Thank you for your help.

That is a bug in the APM BIOS on your machine. Upgrading to 2.2.19 and 
enabling the real mode bios poweroff might help..

When I woke up this morning one of my computers had oops'd so I tried
to gather all the info so I could report it. i'm not on the list so
please cc things to me if you need a reply. the dmesg and lsmod are a
few hours after the reboot.

dmesg:

DMA write timed out
parport0: FIFO is stuck
parport0: BUSY timeout (1) in compat_write_block_pio

as for the .config file, well it is a stock debian
kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686, so i'm not sure. hope this helps, this is
probably all the useful information i can provide.
