[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#354163: Bug#362128: Getting the machine to power down?

[sasha.mal at excite.com]

Unfortunately, I don't have the computer on which the bug occured any more. So I cannot tell what would happen if one changes the /etc/modules. If I'll ever see this problem again and would remember that, I'll try to load apm in /etc/modules. However, on that old machine, memory was very low, so I were reluctant to load any modules during boot which are needed only at the very end and that do nothing for me when working.



What would probably be helpful is that the last message on the screen was the statement stating that the machine is down, like "Power off" or something like that. Everything on the screen remained as it is and nothing visible happened after that. Before that, one could hear some part of the computer, probably the hard drive, stopping making noise.



Regards

Sasha.
