Hello
  After installing RH6.0 on my AMD K6-2 450 Mhz, 64 Mb.RAM, underclocked
at 333 Mhz, I always have been getting this problem:
  At shutdown, either by root or by ortolojf user, the shutdown
process works well, until after the 'Power Down' message.
  Instead of switching off the computer, the process logs these
error messages on the screen, then halt.

  last available screen after halting:

My whole question, is: What should I do for getting
    the powerdown process behave successfully?

Ooh... Here are some supplementary infos:
     - My motherboard is a Gygabyte Super7 Mainboard
                           GA-5AX (Rev 4)
       with an Ali Aladdin V AGPset chipset,
       and an Award BIOS dating from June 1999,
       ( from the BIOS message at boot ).
     - It is unlikely that my Ram might be deficient,
       for this problem was arising from the beginning.

  Thank you for any answer.

  Jean Francois Ortolo
