I don't know about the rest of you nvidia TNT2 users but every since the 2.4.x kernels I get a black screen of death and my machine would HANG upon a shutdown or reboot from the kdm login prompt or a xterm. Well it turns out that for me that if I remove framebuffer support from the kernel (that enables the little pinguin in the top left corner of the screen when you boot up) my machine will no longer HANG. I still get a black screen but the system does not HANG. It shuts down or reboots you just can't see anything until the reboot starts. Just thought the info might help someone. I'm now able to use nvidias drivers with the 2.4.x kernels without any HANGS. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
