To answer your question, I don't know the scope of a "kernel problem." I'm asking a question in order to learn what that problem's description encompasses. I'm trying to educate myself on this issue by means of the knowledgeable people on the mailing list, and the question arises from my curiosity.

I had a shutdown attempt of the computer this afternoon where it didn't shut down, and hung on the shutdown with the line after the localhost login displayed and remained displayed so I could write it down. Here is what I saw: localhost login: [ 9211, 806671] [ T1] reboot; Power down
That is really the last message before kernel turns off the system. It sounds like kernel issue.
Ok, if it is a kernel issue, is that something I fix locally because it's exclusive to my computer? Or is it a bug to be submitted for Kernel software writers to repair for all kernels everywhere? I'm just trying to understand the import of the problem you've described.
Is your question hypothetical or do you suffer from the problem? Because if you do there's a problem that affects two people (a bug reporter and a confirmer) whereas if if you don't then it's still David on his lonesome?
