output of shutdown -h now

[Justin Ennis <justin@razorback.chinalake.navy.mil>]

I am reluctant to bring this up again, since I saw it just a few
months ago on this list, and didn't pay attention at the time.  So,
at the risk of rehashing this problem (if that is what it is), I am
submitting it again since I am now having the same difficulty myself.

I am using the original Debian 1.1 release (kernel 2.0.0), and when
I issue a "shutdown -h now" command, I get the following:

I'd like to know if this is normal, or a symptom of a needed kernel upgrade,
or something else entirely.  I hate to post this again, seeing that you have
all probably solved this and moved on.  But I would greatly appreciate any
help that you may possibly be able to give.
