Laptop (about 10 years old, runs perfectly with 2.6.22) from
Siemens Nixdorf, Mobile 710, Pentium MMX 166

The last kernel messages written from the screen:

----- good case -----
Deactivating swap...done.
Will now halt.
Shutdown: hda
Power down.
	(power off)
I'm not absolutely shure about the messages because it runs very fast.

----- bad case -----
Deactivating swap...done.
Will now halt.
Shutdown: hda
System halted.
_	(blinking cursor)

.config is attached.

Thankyou,
Wolfgang
