Hi people,
I am new on the list and had been lurking for a bit.
The cpu registers on 'shutdown' is an issue with my system as well. I am
running Red Hat 6.1 and I think that it does come with amp built as default
(apmd starts during boot up). Also, the weirdest part is that when you
ctrl-alt-del after the registers are all shown it gives a message about
'shutting down md devices.' Other than that no problems what so ever...
Anybody got a clue?

I get a similar problem.... Whenever I shut off my machine... after the
"system Halted" prompt (now linux is shut down... right??? )..
I get "Junk"...
Actually its more like... the registers on the cpu.... I wish I could
copy/paste the message... but it occurs only after
power - off... It displays what seems to be like Hexadecimal values in the
CPU.. resgisters... ..Full screen ...
"[AX ]: 00EEADF "
... OK.. CPU registers.... i can understand.. probably some
incompatibility.. kernel / HW etc..
but I also get :
[CALL TRACE].....followed by some more values...
Unable to handle Kernel Paging request....
.... more values...
I fail to understand this... since this occurs when Linux has booted down.
Filesytems are unmounted...( eliminates swap space..... etc...... right
.... or am I totally confused ? )
( NO ERRORS WHILE BOOTING UP + RUNNING ).. and no others errors what so
ever.
Has anyone seen this....? Can anyone shed more light on this. ???

Been there ..... done that....
