Root: Go to
www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/troubles/tquick1.html
and check out the last item on that page about GPF's after shutdown.
You've got to edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt file and change the -i -d
-p option to -i -d. IIRC, Paul Pagan has this fix on his site as well,
but I've lost the address. I had this problem with 7.1, 7.2 and 8.0 on
some installations, but not this box -- perhaps because it has a newer
BIOS. The actual code is different across the LM versions, but you
shouldn't have any problem.
By the way, I'll give an authentic attaboy to anyone who can tell me
what the different options mean.
Regards,
Carroll
