I notice this to. However, if I manually do everything....
# kill -TERM -1 # sync # kill -KILL -1 # sync # umount -a # Sometimes fails with 'busy` # mount -n -o remount / # umount -a # always works ... Now hit the boot switch...
Maybe there is a timing problem so the last writes to the file-systems haven't occurred by the time `shutdown` halts the system???? If I do this slowly, waiting for the HD LEDs to go out, it seems to work every time.
