At some point in the process of changing kernel/binutils/gcc/uClibc, the poweroff just stopped "powering off" for me. It would shutdown the harddrive and say your os is off, meanwhile my entire machine and moniter is running, but is unresponsive because the kernel is unloaded. (maybe an initng version ended up breaking this??) This happens on every hardware I try and it pisses me off as I cannot find the fix. I've swapped versions of binutils, gcc, uclibc, initng, etc..

Elaborate. Try to forcefully boot into the os by specifying init=/bin/bash in the kernel boot line of the grub boot loader. > > Hlfs-20051220, btw very old but quite stable and prehistoric enough to > dodge all the ugly versions of binutils and gcc around at the moment. > Life was simpler then. > > Any tips welcome - even what script or function is called, and I'll > examine onboard. > -- > With Best Regards > > Declan Moriarty > > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ > Unsubscribe: See the above information page > -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
