Dear all,
It is my first post to this mailing list, so I am sorry for my English
and the possible mistakes that I could make. I have read through the
information of the FAQs and search a little bit but I have not found an
answer to my question, so here it goes:
I have a Red Hat 7.2 linux box as a web server. I am still in the
proccess of tuning the system.
It is a:
AMD K7 Athlon
two HD IDE 60 Gbs
3Com Network card
no sound card
general video card
Mother board Soltek 75drv4 Chipset VT8367 KT266A
I am compiling a non-modular kernel, due to I do not have so much
hardware and I have read that this makes the kernel faster.
I have executed a lspci to get the information of the mother board
shown above. I have downloaded the latest linux stable kernel 2.4.19 and
I have not found which chipset would be the best to use.
By the way I have created a Software RAID-1 with the two IDE hard
drives.
My issue is that when I try to shutdown the system I experimented two
things:
- The system is not shutdown completely, I got a Power down message and
I got to power off the PC.
- When I reboot the system and even when the system is shutting down, I
have seen messages from the system saying that the RAID is not properly
switched off dued to not a properly shutdowned system.
I hope I have narrowed enough my question and give enough information
for you guys.
Many thanks in advance
Miguel

You must have either APM or ACPI support compiled into the kernel to get
your motherboard switch the power off. I have a Soltek SL-75DRV2 and it
works fine with respect to power down.
Hope it helps.
