I recently upgraded to 10.3 from 10.0 on a Sony Vaio PCG V505DP laptop. My 10.0 setup was very stable, but I am experiencing a serious problem in 10.3 with unclean shutdowns. Every so often (once in 5 times, maybe) my KDE refuses to shut down - some windows, like KNotes, stay on screen, but nothing happens. My keyboard works, so I can switch to text console, manually kill all processes and then re-boot with ctrl-alt-del or reboot. However, the system refuses to shut down cleanly. It goes through all the normal stages without any error messages, gets to the point of unmounting the file systems and then goes oops - cannot umount /: device or resource busy And then it halts immediately. When I run it again, there is always a ton of transactions to be replayed (I am using ReiserFS). I looked through /var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but neither seems to have any error messages. I checked my hardware status with smartctl, and it reports being fine. How could I begin to trace this? Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
