cross posting this to -smp and -hackers as it seems to be a problem there..... for those who are new to the problem, in -stable we have reports of "shutdown now" hanging rather than dropping to single user mode. I have a dual PIII machine. At 4.2-RELEASE I had no problems at all. However, two/three days ago I went to -STABLE. I now have the "shutdown now" problem. However, if I boot GENERIC I have no problem with shutdown now. So, as an experiment I made a new kernel based on my SMP kernel. The only change I made was to drop the two lines which make it an SMP kernel. On doing "shutdown now" with this kernel I go to single user mode. So, the "shutdown now" problem appears to be connected with shutting down processor #1 ?? Anyone shed light on this?
