Hi Joel & PA,

I also have the same, or at least similar problem on my c3700
(2.6.15-rc1-pa1, 2.6.15-rc5-pa3, debian/testing):
A 'shutdown' or 'reboot' does nothing except the wallop, and it seems that
(tel)init doesn't react to signals in general.
Also hitting the poweroff button just powers off the machine after a
certain amount
of time (around 30-60s), but the 'init 6' it should trigger doesn't work, thus
I have unchecked filesystems on the next boot.

This leads me to another, rather unrelated bug:
I only use xfs and it works almost flawlessly, except that it should
cope with a sudden
reboot, being a journaled filesystem and all ...
however due to the init/shutdown bug I often have to run a xfs_check,
and even a 'xfs_repair -L' in order to be able to mount the
filesystems again on the next boot.
Strangely the root fs was not affected so far, and luckily I didn't
have any file
corruption/loss so far (I had to use xfs_repair about 20 times by now).


(Un)fortunately I'm on vacation in Germany right now, so I cannot test/debug
the problem until mid-January.

Greetings,
   Max


PS: I wish you all a happy New Year :)

Thanks for feedback ;-)

Just a small uptade about 2.5.15-pa1 kernel: the pb is still there ;-/

For what is the very frustating situation, I just view alive the pb occur=
ing
on all my testing systems (b2k, d380, b180, n4k): all were clean, early t=

morning when daily cron job started, then after a few moment init() fall =
in
pause() but very hard to tack some picture of process runing on all those=

sytem at this very moment :<(

Any idea?

Thanks,
    Joel

Could it be that you installed ckrootkit dpkg on your system?

I trace more closely daily cron behaviour (loging a top -b -d 1) and:
- just one second before init fall in pause():

I disable all cron (anacron & cron) on a system (b2k), reboot it and laun=
ched
chrootkit manualy and the pb shows up quickly around:
[...]
Searching for anomalies in shell history files... nothing found
Checking `asp'... not infected
Checking `bindshell'... not infected
Checking `lkm'... chkproc: nothing detected
Checking `rexedcs'... not found
Checking `sniffer'... lo: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets
eth0: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets
eth1: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets
Checking `w55808'... not infected
Checking `wted'... chkwtmp: nothing deleted
Checking `scalper'... not infected
Checking `slapper'... not infected
[...]

This pkg is installed on all my systems but on the system on which the pb=

doesn't occure, it was a bit differently configured (run on demand not da=
ily
croned).

Given those info, I hope to progress a bit (more) ;-)

hth,
   Joel

Ermm, yes.
Now I also notice that the problems occurred around the time I installed
chkrootkit ...
