[SOLVED] Shutdown and Reboot hanging, tried everything to fix it

cowmoo32 · 06-03-2014, 12:11 PM

I have a fresh install of CentOS 6.5 running Xen kernel 3.10. When I try to shut down or reboot the machine hangs with the following messages

Code:

Unmounting file systems:                                [  OK  ]
init: Re-executing /sbin/init
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Halting system....

And then it hangs there. I've googled around and tried setting "reboot=pci", checked that /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc has HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff and checked any symlinks in /sbin/ to be sure they're going to the right place. Currently halt points to reboot, could that be the issue?

edit: I've removed microcode_ctl too.

Problem solved, the guests were suspending and they need to shutdown before the host is able to shut down. /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests contains options for controlling all guests. I uncommented out

Code:

ON_BOOT=start

and changed

Code:

ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend

to

Code:

ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown

tags in case someone googles this: xen reboot shutdown hang halt
