Neil Brown pointed out that the problem may be related to APM shutting the computer off before everybody (md driver and/or ide and/or drives) are ready. Compiling the kernel without APM/ACPI support certainly solves the problem. I'm running Linux 2.4.18 on this system. Has this problem been addressed in any later versions? Or shall I start exploring the APM, ide driver, md driver, ide drive interactions? -- Brian Litzinger Copyright (c) 2002 By Brian Litzinger, All Rights Reserved - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
