Check the Mandrake updates page.
This is a problem caused by a bug in the initscripts package
and the kernal.
Download the Updated RPMs for the new kernel and the
initscripts.
Check out the updates page for how to do this.
Its easy and won't take you more than a minute, not counting
download time.
>From the Mandrake Updates Page.
All the updated packages are in the updates/ directory on
our FTP server mirrors.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package
for Mandrake 6.0, check:
updates/6.0/RPMS/
umount problem at shutdown
time
Some users can experience a "busy partition" message at
shutdown time.
Solution: upgrade to initscripts-4.16-30mdk.i586.rpm and to
kernel-2.2.9-27mdk.i586.rpm.
An updated initscripts package is also available:
rpm -Uvh initscripts-4.16-30mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.9-27mdk.i586.rpm
Note: if you run in level 5, don't forget to set it again in
/etc/inittab [just replace
id:3:initdefault: by id:5:initdefault:] after initscripts
upgrading!
Hope this helps
