I noticed the following problem with newer kernels, at least with 1.3.45
and .57:
Every now and then (maybe 1 out of 10) when I'd like to shutdown my
system via ctrl-alt-del or /sbin/shutdown, I just get the first "sending
all processes the TERM signal", then _no_ output from the daemons being
shut down and - bingo! The system hangs.
I first thought it is a DEC Alpha specific problem as I saw it first on my
Jensen, but when I recently tried the 1.3.57 kernel on an Intel box the
same thing happened.
Any hints?
As this causes an e2fsck at the next reboot, it is a bit annoying.
