RE: windows 2000 fails to shutdown when booted via grub

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
However, folks this issue is not only a grub one. I have seen it on
earlier machines, running a commodity OS, like Windows 95, from the same
outfit. For example, Federico, just how old is your machine? If it is ,
"out of the box new", then yes this new version of the same issue, is
indeed grub related, as Jason related earlier.
