This problem has narrowed down to the fact that any attempt to reboot ends up as a halt . There appears to be no solution except to reinstall. I am told that I can reinstall Suse and by omitting the formatting of HD space for the linux native partition I can retain all my files. Is that correct? I had upgraded the kde 2.0.1 to kde 2.1.1. Is there a newer version of Kde that will work ok with Suse 7.1? I will appreciate any info regarding these questions. Jack Reilly aa6vn@pacbell.net

What is the exact command you use to reboot, or better, that you use when you try to reboot :) Gr. GJR
This may be a problem with your APM or ACPI config. If you are trying to
use power management features (especially if you compiled the kernel
yourself) try shutting down the power management features (in bios if
necessary). Do the 3 fingered salute (ctl+alt+del) and see if it works.

I use: shutdown -r now or "logout" on the "K" panel

Did you receive this reply from me? I had two mailings returned but it looked like the third went ok. **************************************************************************************** Thanks for your response. As far as I know I am not using APM as I have never looked at it. Doing the command "apm" I get "AC on-line, no system battery". Yes the three fingers work. It brings me the little "logout?" screen then to the KDE welcome with the login, shutdown, etc options. A shutdown-reboot instruction brings me to a halt with a dead keyboard. The last two lines on the screen are: "Master Resources Control: Run level 6 has been reached. Init: No more processes left in this run level" And, a dead keyboard. After power off and power on I end up still in level 6 with a read-only file system. "runlevel /var/ulpm" gives me "5 6" With no way to way to reboot I can only get the file system back by going to maintenance mode using "shutdown now" with no options. At the bash prompt that results, I do this series: sync mount -n -o remount,rw / CTL P init 5 Then I am back to level 5 and the login screen comes up. Everything is working the same but there has not been a reboot and I have not found a way to do one. This mess was created by my trying to make a change in the inittab file. I have restored that file to the original but have not been able to do a reboot since that crash. Jack On Tuesday 13 November 2001 08:13, you wrote:
