Martha,

You might need to have SP1 installed.  I have a few SLES9 31-bit systems
and signal shutdown works with them (they are SP1).

I'm putting together a Suse SLES 9 31bit (S390) system under z/VM 5.1.0 and
want it to shut down automatically when I do CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN.  I have other
Suse guests that are already doing this with no problem.  However, they are
all SLES 8 or SLES 9 64 bit systems.

I changed the /etc/inittab file to contain the proper "/sbin/shutdown -h now",
just like the other systems.  However, the SLES 9 31bit system seems to know
nothing about it.  It does not react to the CP SIGNAL at all, and z/VM
ends up forcing the machine off.  All the others still work fine.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is this a problem with the SLES 9 31bit
kernel?  I have applied all the latest patches for it.

Martha
