Nope, I don't recall ever changing that file on this system, and |
| 14 |
checking I find that this line is still commented. Though that would |
| 15 |
probably have been a problem. :) |

Possibly. Looking at that file it seems as if there's a 10 second(?) |
| 20 |
timeout on sulogin spawned from halt.sh. This one doesn't go away in any |
| 21 |
reasonable period of time. Also it looks as if there should be some |
| 22 |
messages about remounting and such before that sulogin would spawn, and |
| 23 |
I don't see such messages (presuming they should show up on this console). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If it is starting from halt.sh, is there any chance this could be a race |
| 26 |
condition thing, in which some processes aren't fully shut down yet when |
| 27 |
halt tries to umount? |

I'll try this. |
