The errors I note only occur on shutdown (halt.sh) not startup. Do you
think it could be an IDE timing thing similar to what was described on
another thread on this ml? What's interesting is that this problem is
recent and I am trying to look back and see what system-level packages
were updated recently (I just converted to the 2006.1 profile before this
occured and that caused a lot of programs to recompile. A week earlier,
it was gcc-4.1.1. I know base layout was updated recently). Maybe something
in mount changed? The shutdown scripts look the same. Something is left
unhinged somewhere. Glad I was not hallucinating! Thanks for confirming
for me.
