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.
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.
