Hi all,

I recently switched from RH 7.0 to SuSE 7.3.  While happy overall, I have
noticed some wierdness when shutting down or halting SuSE (either thru the kdm
GUI or using /sbin/shutdown -h).

It seems to get to the following in the console and then, most of the time just
sits there.  If I press the power button, nada - I have to either pull the plug
or press the reset button.

Every once in a while, it shuts all the way down, but most of the time it
doesn't.  And power never goes off as it did with RH.  On shutdown/halt it gets
to the following state:

        The System will be halted immediately

And not past this.  On occasion it gets further:
        md: stopping all md devices
        Power down

And when I boot up or (reboot), my disk(s) always get fscked (/dev/hda2 has the
SuSE distro root) - message below:

    /dev/hda2 not cleanly unmounted, check forced
    
/dev/hdb7 has my home partition and sometimes this has the same message/check. 


Has anyone experienced this?  Should I be worried? I don't have APM that I know
of as my dell was bought in 1998 with Win98FE.  I went to the knowledge base at
SuSE and there wasn't really much help; all the info was on early SuSE
versions.

Any help would be appreciated here; I am concerned that this may cause problems
with my disks in the future.

TIA
