Default SuSe hangs on shutdown

Hello from me again,

I know you guys recently see me a lot in this forum. This site is so great and I like to refer for help when it comes to me with a linux prolem. I can't express enough how grateful I feel to all of you.

I have an issue with SuSe 10 again. It hangs on shutdown and stay there forever until I have to push the power button to turn off my machine. At first, I put SuSe 10.0 and it hangs on shutdown after I do the online updates from yast. I spent 2 hours on it, but still can't. I then decided to put SuSe 10.2, that's a very new version of SuSe, it guess what? It does the same. It's hanging when trying to shutdown.

Her is kind of the things that it says:

Shutting down service network ..........Done
Shtutting down HAL daemon ............Done
Shutting down resource manager ........Done

.......on and on with all ind of things ...........
.
.
.
Turning off swap ...........Done
/dev/sdb1 unmounted ......................Done
/dev/sdc1 unmounted ......................Done
/dev/sdd1 unmounted ......................Done
proc unmounted ...............................Done
The system will be halted immediately ..Done
Master Resource Control: runleve 0 has been reached
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations



It is very strange since it doesn't hang on rebooting. It only hangs on shutting down. SuSe 10.0 and SuSe 10.2 have exact the same problem. I don't know what to do with it. Please give me any idea with what's going on and what needs to be done to fix it? Thank you so much.

stty is related to serial devices, do you have modem or serial mouse configured?

To be frank you can iggy message as everything is shutdown properly. Also check all running process.

Oh, forum is for asking and sharing questions, so keep 'em coming

Thanks for your reply. My machine has 2 serial ports, but I am not using it. All I have is KVM Switch. I got no problem at all with my other machines. I guess SuSe 10.X doesn't like dual processors. This is my third time install/reinstall but the problem is still the same.

The thing is I spent my whole day installing and configuring my Apache/MySql/PHP servers on this machine. Now, looks like it's not working anymore since I hit the power button to shut it down every time after use. OH, I still run the command telinit0 or shutdown -h now and waits until it's saying
"The system will be halted immediately ..Done
Master Resource Control: runleve 0 has been reached
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations"

I guess that causes the problem now. I am really unhappy with it because intalling and configuring apache/mysql/php is not easy for me. It's very time consuming and headache. Please help. Thank you.

There is no reason to reinstall suse because of an error. It has nothing to do with dual cpus as well. It is just serial console issue and nothing else. You can ignore message.

Do you get any other problem due to this issue? Disk corruption or something like this? Do you have any special hardware or graphics card? Is system up to date / all patches applied?

Unhappy Same problem with a previous symptom

SLES 10 SP2 hung on shutdown (any of 'shutdown -r now' or 'reboot').
Before this, this symptom had appeared:

The shutdown completed fine, but the following messages appeared on the screen:

Starting installation
The previous installation has failed
would you like it to continue?

Note: You may have to enter some information again.

[Yes] [No]

If you choose No, the boot process completes successfully.
If you choose Yes, it start the second phase of the installation procedure (asks to set the root password, first user, etc.)

I have choosen No and now I have reset the server in order to succeed the booting process.
No problems with SLES 10 SP1, although it is installed onto ESX VMware.

Sorry, didn't spot the cause yet. Opening a case at Novell.

Red face sles 10 hangs - May be a solution here

Here I am again.
I have a second server running the same sles 10 sp2 version and it does not present the shutdown problem.
I resolved to investigate the ACPI issue, compared the two servers and got this (i hope the experts tell us what to do, if this help:

hom076 presents the problem.
dsv075 works fine. No problem. Reboots and starts up nicely.

hom076:~ # dmesg|grep -i ACPI|grep enabled
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x08] lapic_id[0x08] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x02] lapic_id[0x02] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x0a] lapic_id[0x0a] enabled)
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
dsv075:~ # dmesg|grep -i ACPI|grep enabled
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x08] lapic_id[0x08] enabled)

Check if you have the latest BIOS.
I had a similar problem with Asus P5QL PRO motherboard.
After I installed the latest BIOS 0601 all reboot, removable HDD and stability issues disappeared.

...and the fan continues to run for up to 20 minutes.. I think its simply to bring the CPU to a temperature safe to leave uncooled.
You would need to bother yourself with thermo-dynamics of physics to comprehend overheating it after switching off the fan instantly at shutdown.
