Hi,

My home server is an AMD K6/400 on VIA mobo. It's not fast but works
fine. The soft powerdown of this board is a bit special and instead of
powering off with linux, it just crashes the kernel. Now, that was good
for me because I don't have a monitor on this machine. I powerdown, the
kernel crashes and gets into kdb and the keyboard LED's start flashing.
When I see the flashing led's, I know it's time to safely turn power
off.

It seems that kdb is missing in 2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.1_PR2. Do we get kdb
back in PR3 ? I need the flashing LED's :-)

-Simon
