What if you select halt? On my TT the original did a cold-boot most of the  
time.

I've made a 060-version with my current shutdown-solution:

Tell me if it is better with this version. If yes, I'll commit the changes  
today!

It can be really annoying, especially when you want to halt and it does a  
cold-boot instead.


What was this:

11:18:12: pid 108 (thing): BUS ERROR: User PC=1534036, Address: FFFFFFFF  
(basepage=1704000, text=1704100, data=17041BC, bss=17041BC)

?

What would be of interest is the kernel-output. Make a photo! ;-)

Look in the docs (see my previous post - it's launchpath now, launcher is  
deprecated since ages).
