The platform is i686. I have a similar problem under openSUSE 11.1 - retail boxed version. If I do not use my modem, shutdown runs to completion. If I use the modem, shutdown stops. When I switch to virtual terminal 1 during shutdown, the last line on the screen reads: Running /etc/init.d/halt.local I've waited 2-3 minutes with no change, then powered off. I once unplugged the modem from the computer while it was stuck there, but it did not help at all. I can press Ctrl-Alt-Del, which initiates a second shutdown, but it hangs at the same place, and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I've investigated the 11.1 halt script and have determined the hangup is at line 118: > /dev/$tty || continue where $tty is ttyS1, the serial port where my modem is plugged in. I have an APC SmartUPS 1500 communication cable plugged into ttyS0. This does not occur under openSUSE 10.3, and did not occur under openSUSE 11,0 Line 118 in the 11.1 halt is part of a for... loop which begins with: for tty in ${REDIRECT##*/} tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 ttyS0 ttyS1; do I note that in openSUSE 10.3 and 11.0, the corresponding line in halt reads: for tty in ${REDIRECT##*/} tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6; do Lastly, I once did a "ps -efww | grep ttyS" in a terminal after using the modem and prior to shutdown. I saw no processes directly attached to ttyS1 (or 0). Thanks for your help -- let me know what else I can do or provide. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
