One of the processes preventing a clean umount of / seems to be /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session --pid- file=/dev/.initramfs/plymouth.pid I guess this is what happens: * /etc/init/gdm,conf starts and triggers /etc/init/plymouth-stop * plymouth-stop starts (and remains started), but seeing that gdm is running, it does nothing * gdm exits when it discovers that I use a different default manager * I log in from the text console * "status plymouth-stop" reports this pseudo-service is running; the plymouthd daemon is also alive * when I shut down, nothing stops plymouthd * /etc/init.d/umountroot cannot unmount / cleanly Since the event dependencies between plymouth, gdm, kdb, rc*.d are so complex, I don't know what to suggest.
