This laptop uses the atkbd driver for the keyboard. I also verified this on a Pentium 4, also using an AT keyboard: if kbdmux is in the kernel configuration the problem occurs, if it is not, the system behaves normally when using "shutdown -h now". So I advise to delete or comment the line: device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer from your kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel. You probably do not need kbdmux if you use just one single type of keyboard. Kind regards, Hans Ottevanger
