Another data point: I'm running 4.3-stable, cvsup'd to the 20010610 code, on an MP kernel (MSI 694D-AR motherboard, 2xPiii-866). I have not experienced any problem in shutdown, and have been fiddling with things a lot recently. Some days I've done two or three shutdowns to single-user mode and multiple shutdowns to the completely-down "hit-any-key" state. -- Mike Andrews mikea@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin since 1964 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
