This is the first time it happens to me! Under woody I've compiled my own, very light kernel 2.4.13-1 (Bunk's stuff) for my hardware eliminating many options I don't need. Now, it all works ok (in syslog there isn't anything strange or missing dependency warning) but when I shutdown woody hangs endlessly to "unmounting filesystems........" and I'm compelled to switch off the PC. This causes a complete and annoying check of the partition when booting again. Why is that and what should I check?Please helpVittorio
Check to see if mount works, I had the same problem when i upgraded from 2.2.X to 2.4.X. It when away when I built 2.4.10 by hand. In short, I think you made a mistake in your kernel build and it should work if you rebuild.
FYI Woody unmounts remote filesystems before local PEACE --All the parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.
