Hello, I have a problem with kernels, built the last couple of days, where during shutdown syncer is "giving up" on buffers. During the next boot all filesystems are checked because of improper dismount. Here follow the exact messages I get: Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...stopped syncing disks, buffers remaining... 8 8 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 giving up on 6 buffers Uptime: 41m20s pfs_vncache_unload(): 1 entries remaining Shutting down ACPI Rebooting... After some testing I found out that this does _not_ happen if I manually unmount my ext2 filesystems, before shutting down. In this case syncer finishes without any problems. My last kernel which did not have this problem, is the one I built on Wed Aug 27 23:14:12 EEST 2003. The output of dmesg from the verbose boot of the kernel, can be found here: http://members.hellug.gr/lefcha/dmesg.out Thanks
