I've now tested through a couple kernel-images, and found that the problem does NOT manifest itself when it's an SMP-kernel, eg 2.4.26-1-686-smp and 2.4.27-1-686-smp are fine, but the default 2.4.26/7-1-386 and their respective -686 siblings aren't. What remains is the question if I should file this as a (grave?) bug against kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386. And, for people googling this up later: DO NOT run the standard Sarge kernel 2.4.27-1-386 on HP/Compaq DL380 machines, you won't be able to reboot/shutdown them. cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
