Well, without looking at some logs, it doesn't mean much,

It could be hanging on netgear FA311 or FA312 ethernet cards (and the 
solution seems to be to get a real ethernet card; the drivers supplied 
by Netgear are just plain buggy), or it could be hanging on unmounting 
USB devices which follows that.

The solution in the latter case is to look at

/etc/modules.conf

and to change the line

alias usb-interface usb-uhci

to

alias usb-interface uhci

If you have one of the boards that takes the uhci driver.  But without 
information on your mainboard that could be very bad advice, because 
your mainboard may be set up for usb-ohci, for example.


In other words, the advice you get will never be better than the 
information you provide.

[newbie]System hangs while shutting down ..

2002-07-07 Thread vangala sarma

Hi,
 I have Linux Mandrake 8.1 installed on my system.
Whenever I try to shut it down, the system hangs with
the message :

 "Shutting down interface eth0 "
Can anyone please tell me what I can do to rectify
this problem. 
I will have to reboot the system whenever this
happens. What is the problem ?
Thanks,
Sarma
