Civilme thanks,
I've concluded one thing that if using PCMCIA for network
connectivity chkconfig --level 2345 network off as well as internet off
makes startup and shutdown a lot cleaner on a laptop like mine (Note
that my ethernet is via pcmcia not pci.) One last set of errors to
check. After smb/nmb and pcmcia are shutdown killall seems to try a
second time to shut down smb/nmb. (I've got a number of laptops I set
up for work and linux shutdown/startup is slow enough that salespeople
can read the words FAILED and panic) Thanks for the explanation.
