Hi George, Check the files/links pertaining to shutdown, my best guess is that they got fsck'd up. I've had links become files or directories and other strange things. You may have to replace the scripts and links with good ones from another machine. Good luck, Tim P.S. Happy belated birthday to HAL (12 Jan 1997)

My DNS and mail server has become sentient and exhibits traits like HAL from the movie 2001. After init [3] screen dumped and the system became unresponsive, I reset it using the reset button. Of course, fsck found an error and corrected it, but it then complained about kernel modules. As it turns out, I clobbered the modules (I guess) when I compiled the modules last month.

Here's the problem: It will not respond to the keyboard, and it will not shut down. The numlock and capslock lights responds when the key is pressed, but no other key responds. So I telnet into the box and su to root. No problems. I tell it "shutdown -r now" and it says the system is going down now, and that's it. The rc6.d process is running and the K15gpm (or something like that) is running, but gpm is not killed. I can manually kill processes, but the shutdown process does not work.

The system continues to resolve names and deliver mail, but I need to fix the kernel modules.

Anyone have an idea why it refuses to shutdown? -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com
