Safe shutdown on IDE boot

2000-10-10 Thread Zhaobin Zhu

Hi,

I boot Hardhat linux on IDE disk on sp7400.

But I can boot it only once.  The next time I boot,
I see
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 284k init

and hangs there.

I put the disk back to Host and found some problem with fs on this disk
and I can fix it by e2fsck.

I guess i had problem with safely shutdown.
Anybody knows how to do the shutdown safely ?

I have the exact same problem when I boot without an HD but with NFS
root over the network. So I don't think it has to do with shutting
down properly. All eyes to our MAG and Wizard. ;-)
