I'm figuring to debug this I probably need to redirect the system console to the serial port and use my other laptop with minicom to watch the serial output and see what part of the shutdown process is hanging, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'd suggest starting off with something slightly simpler. Boot with: splash=off vga=normal This should keep the console from using anything other than the simplest 80x24 character display. I'm pretty sure this will allow you to see what's going on.
What config files/grub options do I need to make this work?
kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst: console=ttyS0,9600n8 in /etc/inittab - something like: cons:12345:respawn:/sbin/smart_agetty -L 42 console in /etc/securetty console But try the 'no splash, normal vga' first... /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
