Of course, this > machine powered down normally with stock debian sarge init. OK, I lied. It powered down normally with Red Hat 7.3, but there is a similar lack-of-power-down with stock debian sarge init. Still, there is an extra wrinkle with ruinit. Transcript (by hand, I tried to avoid any errors): ...normal shutdown stuff... - runit: power off flushing ide devices: hda hdc Power down. Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! The only extra stuff here is the "Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!" message. Does sysv.init spin in an idle loop if the power down fails? I'll try some other things, like Knoppix and Google, to see if I can isolate the problem powering down. It's off-topic for this list. (Although if anybody reading this wants to send me a hint, I'll take it.) - Larry
