If I open up an xterm in X, su to root and 'reboot' (or 'shutdown -r now') I instantly get a blue screen that persists until the box actually reboots. With previous kernels (all that I can remember, latest tested being 2.6.18-git15 (then I jumped from -git15 to -git21)) what happened was that X would die and I would be returned to text mode so that I could actually see all the shutdown messages from my init scripts (which is very nice). I don't really know what info would be relevant to provide regarding this issue, so please ask for any info you need. I can start testing kernels between 2.6.18-git15 and 2.6.18-git21 and/or doing git bisects if anyone thinks it will be useful. If you want that, please speak up, since I would rather not build and test-boot a lot of kernels for no reason if nobody wants the info. But if it will be useful I'll be happy to do it. Anyway, there's a bug somewhere, let's squash it ;-) -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
