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. The idea works out properly. But later I found that when I try to softboot the system with ctrl-alt-del. One last line appears below system halted line is, stopping all md devices, before the system reboots. Why is this line appears? Does the system really halts or it just hangs or goes into wait state instead of halting?
Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)) ~~~~~

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.
