I've got a remote machine running ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic which I ssh
into. When I said "poweroff -f -p" it strangely came back after a few
seconds. Perhaps my banging on the keyboard made a difference. The
same thing happened when I said "halt -f -p". Sounds like user error to
me, except the log file shows kernel halt messages. These are the last
n lines logged:

I can't explain that.

A surprise to me; yes, the kernel is configured for SMP. (The
hardware isn't.) I can't find the patch. Got another hint for me?
Thanks.
