Hi helge!

Hi Grant,

It's totally cool that I can shutdown the c3k with just power button! playing with 2.4.16-pa5 today I noticed to really minor bugs.
1) LCD shows "Linux 2.4.1-pa5" in the top line. UTS_RELEASE is definitely 2.4.16 since uname -a prints that too. It wasn't obvious to me where the "6" was getting lost. I only looked at led.c for a bit - just enough to understand that UTS_RELEASE was used to generate the string.

Hmm, I still have 2.4.16-pa4 here and it definately shows "2.4.16-pa4" for me. Maybe a SMP problem ?
You could try to double the size of the udelay() parameter in lcd_print to see if it cures your problem.

2) When powering off with poweroff button, the last msg is "Restarting ...". Are we running the wrong event chain? I haven't had a chance to look at this yet. (reviewing code for bame and dug up the DIAG register access code.)

Currently I use "kill_proc(1, SIGINT, 0);" to kill the init-process - which is normally a reboot-command and gives the above messages. That's AFAICS not the right solution, but nfortunately I don't know how to do it correct right now.
The other thing is, that this call will not work if the init-process doesn't has PID 1 - this happened to me after a kernel crash, where init needed to fsck.
