ecstasy Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi, I successfully installed all latest cooker 2008.1 packages onto my 2008.0 powerpack system because I was missing some 2008.0 packages etc but now the reboot/shutdown etc commands don't work e.g. 'reboot' from root or user terminal start but there's blank space underneath for over 30 seconds and the terminal session window can be closed I can't find any solutions. I didn't create a swap because there's 4GB ram.

I renamed and replaced some files with the updated .rpmnew etc files .orig. Is there a file which has been misconfigured causing this? Is there anyway to safely reboot/shutdown now? Would a hardware reset affect the updates? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Does it work with the equivalent commands "init 0" and "init 6" or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Does it work with the equivalent commands "init 0" and "init 6" or not? Thanks for the reply. init 0 works until it gets to 'Unmounting file systems'. The cursor has been blinking there for about 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
