About the only unusual thing I see in dmesg is: ----------------- EXT3 FS on hda8, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS on hdd2, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds ----------------- but it *didn't* ask me to hit y for the check while it was booting.
Also, the last couple of -rc's seem to be keeping a lock on /usr when shutting down, so the 3 attempts at a clean umount during the shutdown phase all fail. I made sure that everything was stopped except some screen backgrounds that come from /usr, and gkrellm, which sits on every window here. That hasn't bothered the reboots until maybe -rc2 but -rc3 for sure is doing it 100% of the time in the shutdown phase.
