Whenever I type in "shutdown now," the kernel enters runlevel 1 and starts to shut down. All of these [ ok ] just fine:
* Stopping local... * Stopping fcron... * Unmounting network filesystems... * Stopping syslog-ng... * Syncing hardware clock to system clock [Local Time]... * Bringing eth0 down... * Removing inet6 addresses... * eth0 inet6 del fe80::20e:2eff:fe0c:6041/64... * Stopping eth0... * Bringing lo down... But it just hangs on this one: * Saving random seed... I can Ctrl-C my way out of it and continue to work in Gentoo, but a software shutdown isn't possible. I just reboot, enter the BIOS and hold the switch. What can I do about this little bug? And is there even any purpose in loading and saving a random seed when random numbers are (AFAIK) seeded by the timer? -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
