That would probably be an absolute requirement... It may be a lower version than the running kernel, but things will fail miserably if it's a higher version. > Only link to this particular error in google is from a > German site which I can't read. Well, Googling for the email's subject as a phrase did reveal ... nothing. At least I could have translated the message if I was able to get there... > hmmm, just noticed I can't use ctl-alt-del.

In order to halt/restart you need to add the "-f" flag. Beware that you should unmount/remount r/o your partitions before resetting. I.e.: # umount /some/manually/mounted/partition # mount -o ro,remount /dev/device-in-use /mounted/partition/in/use # sync # reboot -f -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
