It is not a slackware distro. I downloaded linux kernel 2.6.16.11 from linux kernel website. And other packages (such as busybox, mplayer etc.) from different websites.
The powerdown is not supposed to be a normal powerdown. Rather it is casued by HW/SW faults. And I am not supposed to know what exact HW/SW events they are. What I need is to be aware that the system is "powering down" and started write whatever changes in the buffer to flash. I don't know how to catch "powering down" event though, would it be possible from power management? And what power management package provides such a API so that the user can catch "powering down" message and then send "pending" message back?
The system is "diskless" - there is no hard disk available
