I am upgrading (experimenting) on/to 2.2.5 on a second computer, and there seems to be no way to get it (2nd pc) to do a shutdown or reboot. When that computer is on dos 6.22 MEMMAKER can reboot, so it probably isn't an inherent hardware prob. I have tried with or without booteasy, always the same prob., it just stops before complete shutdown. Below are vital statistics, if you want i can let you get at it online, to check what is set up inside.. hardware - ibm "value point" 486dx-33 8MB RAM, 203mb HD software - freebsd 2.2.5 with dedicated disk 203MB (booteasy with a dos partition didn't work any better.) the messages... shutdown -r now shutdown NOW! shutdown: [PID171] ***FINAL System shutdown message from root@zeta.barvennon.com*** System going down IMMEDIATELY May 4 15:43:39 zeta shutdown: reboot by root: May 4 15:43:39 zeta shutdown: reboot by root: System shutdown time has arrived May 4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 May 4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 May 4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 Syncing discs... 8 8 6 done rebooting... keyboard reset did not work, attempting CPU shutdown and there is where it hangs. sometimes, it stops at an earlier point. have you got a fix? maybe I have installed it wrong, but I have reinstalled it dozens of times on that hardware, no luck, always the same prob. I installed it on another computer, & this problem did not arise. I suspect the IBM hardware, is it different, in a way that you did not account for in BSD? I am happy to set up an account on barvennon.com from which you can log onto zeta as su & inspect. chris >Description: see above >How-To-Repeat: ha ha try an ibm valuepoint 486dx33 8mb >Fix: put it on a nother computer >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
