Picking just one to run can test whether that's a cause. > I also checked the BIOs, and noted that 'Wake up on Lan' is enabled > and as far as I can tell, there is no possible way for me to disable it. That shouldn't be a cause for a crash. Wake on LAN is a way to make a powered off PC start booting by sending a trigger sequence to it over the LAN. It shouldn't affect anything on a running system. It's a function of the LAN card, itself. > I noticed that someone had reported this same problem, and disabling > WOL, would prevent the system from shutting down and hang with > the PS still running It is possible, that a device configured in a certain way may not shut down as desired when you shut down a PC. It's also possible that WOL status is reset as shut down, so a WOL signal never actually wakes up the NIC. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
