- Didn't work for me. I solved my goofy shutdown message by getting
- shutdown from the stock 97.1 root disk. (although when I copied the
- reboot that exists on the MCC "Util" disk in tar.Z.files/bin.tar.Z I
- couldn't reproduce the problem)
-
- My lockup on reboot problem was solved by turing off BIOS shadowing in
- the CMOS settings for my machine. No loss under Linux.
