Hi all, I have Gentoo 2004.2 system . I have found a bug in the shutdown process(atleast it logically seems to be a bug).I request u all to try it on ur system to check whether it is distro specific or related to kernel so that i can file it in the specific list.
Procedure that led to the bug: 1)Booted the gentoo system 2)Logged in as user(non-root) 3)issued startx to start kde3.2.2 4)Logged out of kde.It put me back on terminal prompt 5) executed "su" to become root 6) executed "init 0" to shutdown 7) Last message on terminal "Power down" . Now the next step was something very very unexpected 8) Pressed "Enter".It brought me to command prompt as root. 9)executing "ls" gave me a directory listing of the root directory 10) Executed "man man".This command did not execute.
I don't understand how did the command prompt appear and how did the "ls" command got executed when I had shutdown my system.
