- I have a 386 which will fail 100 per cent of the time to C-A-D with
- shutdown (admutils-1.1) called as 'halt'.
-
- It works 100 per cent of time as shutdown.
-
- It even works 100 per cent of the time as shutdown -q now
-
- Reading the source, would have thought shutdown -q now equivalent to
- halt --- motherboard and AMI BIOS don't think so.
-
- BTW: reboot fails 100 per cent of the time.
-
- shutdown is the first routine to completely work with AMI NCS BIOS.
-
- C-A-D without executing any of the three, just sync works 10 to 50 per
- cent of time depending on kernel from 0.12 thru 0.97pl1.5
