System halted - or is it? (2.4.19-pre10-ac2)
I'm using 2.4.19-pre10-ac2 on both my desktop and laptop now. It works great, with one "interesting" exception: on halt, it first stops the RAID on my desktop (lots of messages about invalidating busy buffers here), then flushes all IDE devices, and then prints System Halted... and then gives me back my shell prompt. The system appears to still work, at least for trivial operations. The shell is definitely still running.
Any ideas?

I noticed that too. I even managed to make my box completely alive:
started X, opened KMail and wrote a message to lkml :-)
Weird isn't it?
