YES! I agree... didn't think about klogd at thte time (sleepy :^) ...so /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt needs to be changed to move the /boot umount from the general umounts to the / umount segment. Mandrake: do you want me to create the patch...? Now... I've got to find out why NFS partitions cause a similar problem when the server's nfsd crashes (previous post which got no response)...

You don't give yourself enough credit! Well, anyway, in an attempt to be helpful: I agree with Civileme - it looks like something is not 'letting go' of a mount point. There are a couple of possible reasons for this that I've run in to: supermount has caused me grief in the past - so I just took it out of /etc/fstab (in fact, I *NEVER* could shut down cleanly on my laptop until I did that) a daemon process that won't die (or that is shut down in the wrong sequence) can cause this. To check the sequencing, look at the order of the 'K*' files in /etc/rc.d/rc.d where is the run level you are shutting down from (i.e. 3 if non-graphical full multiuser, 5 if graphical). Of course, if you don't know what the RIGHT sequence is, how do you know if your sequence is right or wrong? I don't know, as I'm not sure *I* could tell you if yours is wrong or right... NFS mounts that won't 'die' (let go, close, whatever) will keep the partition they are mounted on from unmounting If you've got supermount, try taking that out first... rc Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.

[expert] Reboot/shutdown freeze error
Dear friends: Looks like I've solved the Winbod Detection logon error message by shutting down certain services in Startup Services (#ntsysv). When I reboot now, LM 8.0 boots up correctly and properly to my logon screen in the console with the prompt waiting for me. The last serious problem has to do with the reboot/shutdown problem. Sometimes, LM 8.0 reboots correctly and sometimes it doesn't. Same for shutdown. Sometimes, it shuts down properly, more often bootdown stops at: "Unmounting file systems". During bootup, when LM 8.0 reboots properly, there are no error messages, LM 8.0 detects eth0 and eth1, the root files systems mount properly (NO "uncleanly unmounted, check forced"). But when LM 8.0 freezes during reboot or shutdown, I get an "uncleanly unmounted, check forced" error message (with red OK check mark) and the following error message shortly thereafter: "Checking filesystem quotes: c\Cannot stat mountpoint: No such file or directory." (the word above is "stat", not "start"). I would appreciate any help or suggestions on this. Please remember that I am an ordinary user. But I am doing my best. Thanks so much.
