if you are already root and changing run levels i'm not sure it would take you out of root so that makes sense to me. are you saying that you were not root before changing run levels to single user and it gives you these messages? and are you sure it is actually rebooting instead of changing run levels? one is distinct from the other... if i am testing things out and need to reboot i use: # shutdown -r now to do a complete shut down before rebooting i use: # shutdown -h now which powers things off for my setup. songbird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
