>Description:
A kernel with "abtn* at adb?" will instantly power-off a Pismo when the brightness buttons on the keyboard are pressed. And I mean instantly. Also, it loses the date/time.
Obviously, the keys can be recognized, because when the sound buttons are pressed, the kernel says:
abtn0: volume setting not implemented
>How-To-Repeat:
Press brightness up key several times in a row. You might want to boot -s before trying this ;)
>Fix:
comment out abtn from kernel :(
