[expert] hard shutdowns

[Bruce E. Harris]

I am having a problem, that may soon result in the loss of data and I am not
sure what to do or how to fix it.

When ever I shutdown Mandrake using KDM shutdown or reboot or init 6, my
system does shutdown, but hangs at "unmounting file systems". My only recourse
it to power off. That results in an error saying I did an improper shutdown.

Any ideas?

TIA and Best Regards, Bruce
