Please guide us. No. The Timecounter line is not part of the error message -- in fact it's perfectly normal. The problem is that your root '/' filesystem was not properly dismounted when you shut down. That's usually because you don't run the proper shutdown(8) command, maybe even because you just hit the power switch. To shutdown and power-off the system you need to run: # shutdown -h now This will leave the system in a state where it is safe to turn it off. Where your motherboard has support for the facility you can add ACPI or APM support to your kernel, which will permit you to use: # shutdown -p now This will shut everything down as for 'shutdown -h' but also automatically power down the system.
