First thing I'd check is the shutdown sequence. I dunno if this is machine you're physically in front of, but if you are, look for kernel output at the end of the shutdown sequence. The fact that it is rebuilding is usually indicative of an unclean shutdown. If it happens all the time it might be that there is some problem preventing buffers from being flushed properly and/or the gmirror to shutdown correctly. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
