[Andreas Tille] > I think I will use the very same system. Thank you. The umounting of file systems are obviously not working as it should. I read that from your shutdown load.
Try replacing in /etc/init.d/umountfs the line saying PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin with a line saying PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin I am starting to suspect the problem is that you have one set of tools in /{s}bin/, and a different set of tools with the same names in /usr/{s}bin/. Try also to add 'set -x' early in umountfs, to see what the script do when it fails. Your problem might also be related to the NFS mount points, and the fact that portmap is killed before nfs umounting is tried (bug #258420). If this is the case, I am working on a fix. The shutdown sequence you typed in seem to jump from S30urandom directly to S90reboot without running S31umountnfs.sh, S32portmap, S35networking, S40umountfs and S60umountroot. I fail to understand how that can happen. > This is right according to all my knowledge.

It would be useful to have the output from a run with set -x as described above, but that will be quite a lot to type, so we can wait to see if the PATH changes help first.
