I believe mine does Steve, but let me go do a shutdown and check, brb.
On the kde gui, I selected 'shutdown computer' and it went through the
motions, finally printing "will now halt", and about 30 seconds
later /etc/init.d/halt returned a segfault in line 23.
I did a ctrl+alt+del, which gave me a process 6, shutting down md devices.
All the lvm stuff was unmounted before the will now halt line.
At that point it was well and truly dead, curser blinking stopped, keyboard
dead. I waited about another minute & hit the reset button and left it
rebooting.
The segfault msg came from this stanza of /etc/init.d/halt:
log_action_msg "Will now halt"
halt -d -f -i $poweroff $hddown
But with the acpi stuff disabled, neither action took place.
That script needs a brain transplant, there is no conditional detection of
acpi presence in it. :)
I plainly recall seeing it output mesg's that the drives had been parked, and
heard them as they parked, but did not see or hear it _this_ time. No idea
what I've changed. But this machine has been through 5 or 6 power failures
long enough to outlast the UPS, and has suffered no damages (yet)
That knocking sound? Me, banging head on wooden item... :-)
