SuSE 10.0 hangs on shutdown
Hi all, I installed SuSE 10.0 x86 on my desktop computer which was previously running SuSE 9.1 Professional. Everything is working fine except that the system hangs everytime during shutdown. The last message displayed on the screen is "Sending all processes the KILL signal...". I have to hard-reset the machine to un-freeze it, which of course means an unclean root filesystem. SuSE 9.1 Pro did not exhibit this problem before. Anyone else have this problem? Any hints to how to solve this problem? The computer is an e-Cube CF-968L mini-cube, here is a web link: http://www.chyangfun.com/pt_barebone_d.asp?MID=1&SID=e-cube%20series&PNo=CF-968L My system has a Intel Celeron 2.4GHz processor installed, and 1GB of memory. Thanks, -Ti

This doesn't solve your immediate problem but here's something everyone should know - - - the 'magic key sequence'. Most times when your machine hangs up, you can get a clean reboot by: 1) Hold down the Alt and 'Sys req' keys 2) In a reasonablly slow succession, press U U S S B B (remember USB..... is the sequence) You probably only have to issue each character once but doing it double doesn't hurt anything. The sequence causes the buffers to be flushed to disk and sync'd and the B causes the reboot. Nice to know when things go bump in the night. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

magic sysrq won't work however unless /proc/sys/kernel/sysreq contains a value other than 0. On SuSE, either use the yast/yast2 /etc/sysconfig editor or directly edit /etc/sysconfig/sysctl so that ENABLE_SYSRQ is set to "yes". Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt for more information.

Or place the following in your /etc/init.d/boot.local # Set some escape clauses # alt+<sysreq>+u Remount (U) ro all file systems # alt+<sysreq>+s Sync # alt+<sysreq>+b Reboot (Do all three!) echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

Sure, you can do that. But there is already logic in /etc/init.d/boot.proc to read the ENABLE_SYSRQ variable in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl and do the right thing, so I figure you might as well use what's been provided. Michael -- San Francisco, CA

Oops: wrong sequence (IMHO). To sync, the filesystem has to be mounted. Sync first, than umount: S-U-B. If you do that from a text-console (e.g. <Ctrl>+<Alt>-<F2>), you will get some info (beeps &/or a msg).

Bump... I asked this a couple of days ago and got some answers on how to use "magic key sequence" to sync and unmount the disk when things hang, but no solution to the real problem. Any more hints?

Did you try the acpi settings at the boot prompt? The options are described in GRUB's help.
