I am having a problem and was wondering if someone could shed some light on 
it for me.  Can anyone explain to me why my machine will only poweroff on 
shutdown with a Redhat kernel? 

I am running redhat 7.1 with some rawhide thrown in where necessary to solve 
dependency problems (for KDE 2.2.1, eg).  When I run various generic kernels, 
everything runs flawlessly except that shutting down always leads to a reboot 
rather than a power off or system stopped state.  Booting into an official 
redhat kernel solves the problem, but I can't get a kernel patch that I need 
(win4lin) to apply to the later redhat rawhide kernels, and I need a late 
model kernel for some of the USB fixes that have been made.  Thus, I am stuck 
using a generic patched kernel and sitting at the system when I shut it down 
waiting to hit the power button at the right moment when it starts to reboot.

Does anyone know how I can get my system to power off with a generic kernel?  
Even if there is no easy fix, can someone at least explain to me what is 
governing/causing this behavior?

Thanks

Todd
