[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#374040: shutdown: activity after "Will now halt"

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-14.1
Severity: wishlist
File: /sbin/shutdown

(Please reassign this bug to the right package.)
I type shutdown -h now.
I wish there was no more activity after the
"Will now halt" message.
However just before my monitor is powered off, I see something like
usb 2-1: new high speed USB device ...
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

(I can get the messages to stay on the screen with
shutdown -h -H now, but then I have to remove the battery of my IBM
Thinkpad to get out of the frozen state created.)
