What command are you using to shut down? The behaviour you describe is typical of bringing the system down to single user mode, and the prompt message you describe is issued by sulogin. If you just enter a command like "shutdown now" it will bring the system down to single user mode give a behaviour like you describe. Since you say rebooting is fine, you probably know to use the "-r" switch to the shutdown command. Well, to really shutdown the system, you need to use the "-h" (halt) switch. You can also use the halt command which will do a shutdown -h in the same way that reboot command will do shutdown -r. -- Barius -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
