Not sure why it's on, or even if that is it....but;

In Rehat 9 when I shutdown, it appears to have verbose turned on somewhere because I get "status=1000" streaming up the screen and the shutdown messages are flying by......

Anyone have any idea what this maybe and how to undo it....

TIA

Update: It appears to be a kernal message of some sort...

The only info I could find on it was related to the search terms "status 1000", and it concerned the cisco aironet card...of course I'm not using that card..lol

The only other references I can find concern a "ehci_stop completed status 1000 Halt" messages apparently found via dmesg...

Or "ehci_hcd stop completed status 1000 Halt"....guess it depends on the distro...

Problem is I have no idea what that relates to, video card, NIC, monitor?

Is the kernel fragged? Other than this shutdown behavior everything "seems" OK..

Any suggestion (besides reinstall) would be helpful. Thanks

I dont know if this will help but give it a try

shutdown -h now > /dev/null 2>&1

Or, for redirecting both stdout & stderr to the same place:
I don't think `muting' shutdown will work; if I understand matters correctly, shutdown only *starts* shutting the system down. Any one who knows more than me is welcome to chime in

Thanks guys....it's doing it on startup now also....LOL

Thinking back, it didn't start this until I started messing around with OSS sound to get my sound card working...old vortex 1

I hear sounds now but it's crap....and the messages seem to co-incide with that install so I'm going to remove OSS and see if that resolves it...if so I'll install ALSA instead...

Really weird that Redhat9 doesn't support this card's chip right away...the debian distros always have no problem with it....very odd...

The only problem is the echi messages seem to be related to the NIC from what I've read, and not the soundcard....<shrug>...

Ah well...onward!
