Debian shutdown hanging.
Hi,
I have installed debian 2.1r2 on a IBM netfinity 3000 machine. Everything
is fine except that when I press cntrl-alt-delete, I get the following
messages and the machine hangs. Everytime I have to switchoff and when
switching on next time there are hard disk repairs. How can I avoid this?
I have given below the shutdown message and the relevant line in the
/etc/inittab
--------------shutdown message after pressing ctrl alt del---------
INIT: switching runlevel: 0 INIT: Sending
processes the TERM signal Stopping the X display manager : xdm Stopping
periodic command scheduler: cron.
------------------- at this line the machine hangs-----------
--------------------/etc/inittab--------------------------
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
#ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/halt # I tried to change like this but no use
------------------------------------------------------------
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
