can't shut down properly

chin hui — Fri, 04 Jul 2003 17:43:03 GMT

Hi,

I've just installed redhat 9 a presario 2543AP. I couldn't shut down properly because the system would hang when it's shutting down the pcmcia card services. How would I overcome this without having to remove the pcmcia card support?

Do you actually have any devices IN the PCICMA slots at the time?

Do you get any errors showing up in your /var/log/mesages file?

You might want to try issuing 'service pcmcia stop' when the machine is up at some point, see if it just hangs there. If it does, modify /etc/init.d/pcmcia, throw a '-x' on the first line as an argument, and run it again, see where it falls over.

I do not have any PCMCIA device in the PCMCIA slot. /var/log/messages show these following lines:-

chinhui kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:0c.0
chinhui kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
chinhui kernel: Yenta IRQ list 02b8, PCI irq11
chinhui kernel: Socket status: 30000007
chinhui cardmgr[3172]: starting, version is 3.1.31
chinhui cardmgr[3172]: watching 1 sockets
chinhui cardmgr[3172]: Card Services release does not match

chinhui kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean.

I'm not sure which line to modify in the /etc/init.d/pcmcia file. Where would i pass it as an argument?

Another problem is that, I can't use any usb devices. Once I attach a usb device into the usb 2.0 ports, the system would hang. Please advice. Thank You

Hi,
He just ask to add this kind of line at the beginning of the script:
set -x
This argument will write everything on the console when executing the script.

Cheers.

the system hangs when it's running this line
/usr/sbin/updfstab

same thing goes for my USB slots
