Hi to everyone.
I use Suse Linux from version 7.something and now i have openSuse 10.2.
In my server i had suse 9.3 and everything was working good and now i have ver 10.2 and i have a problem when machine is shutting down. The problem is (as far i can see) that after the 'sending to all kill command' machine try to umount the basic dir '/' but it fails.
To be more specific i need a hint about where suse stores log files for shutting down. I have check in /var/log/messages but it has nothing about shutting down.

Hi,

My penguin is Debian, but similar thing happend a while ago. I did not know how it happened, but after clean re-install, thing went ok.

I am not sure if this helps.

Happy Penguins!

Thank you for your response. The problem is that i just make a clean install. Any way i have found that the problem is probable in shut down script when it calls this '/etc/init.d/kbd stopdone'. This fails so main dir '/' thinks that it has a open file and can not close. When i put the command "/etc/init.d/kbd stop" and after that shutting down everything works OK (until now i mean :-))
By the way the log file for shutdown must be the "/var/log/boot.omsg" at least here i have found this strange command.
