[laptop-discuss] Re: Re: Re: Re: inetmenu (1.9) and shutdown hang?

[Tom Whitten]

I just saw this shutdown hang on a lab machine.  It was running stock
snv_48 with no frkit, no dhcp and no inetmenu.  It was an AMD64, whereas my
laptop is i386 machine.

First I need to use the lab machine for running some tests.  When they are
done, however, I'll try to dig into this shutdown hang.
