shutdown -r now
Well, I just got finished re-installing R6 (to untangle a kernel mod) and
as an interumn solution I built a boot disk (I usually boot from DOS with
loadlin). When I booted off of this disk (and copied /vmlinuz to the DOS
partition) I was somewhat surprised to find that shutdown -r now worked
completely. (In the past it would chug through its shutdown proceedure
till it got to the Rebooting... message, and would then just hang)
However, after installing the new kernel in DOS and rebooting Linux the
shutdown -r now behaved as before. I find this quite strange, as I assume
that the kernel on the boot disk is the same one as /vmlinuz. Anyone have
any idea what is going on?
YHS,
