Hi all,
Some days back I have asked about md devices which were
causing problems during halting my system under the title Halting problem. At that time Mr. Rajan Parekh suggested that, it is happening becoz the sys is trying to swithch off the m/c, which can be done if one uses ATX type of mainboard. So he suggested me to remove the "-p" switch from your "halt" command.
This solution was not for "md devices". It was for the wierd messages that fly after the "System halted" message that you were getting. "md devices" is something related to RAID. I don't know much about it. But I think you don't need it, so you can recompile the kernel without RAID support.
