All they see and say is that the computer is not powered off instead stays at terminal. The reboots-instead-of-shutdown bug seems to hit some Sony Vaio and Dell notebooks. There are similar bug reports and forum entries mentioning about the same problem but none of them contains valuable information. Any hint/help/clue will be appreciated Thanks, --- Ozan Çağlayan TUBITAK/UEKAE - Pardus Linux http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng
