When I try to shutdown the machine they come up on the console - currently running 2.6.29-gentoo-r5. Typically, the oops occurs after the wireless driver and alsasound modules are unloaded and occasionally after syslog-ng is stopped. No oops take place if I exit X and then issue a shutdown command from the console. I am waiting for a newer kernel to see if this problem has been fixed. -- Regards, Mick
