[grml] grml 1.1 shutdown will fail
Hello,
batch your pardon for asking for your help.
I have just downloaded the grml 1.1 iso und burned a live cd for playing a little bit with your nice tool. The cd starts and everything works fine. There also is no fault, when I start the cd with the grml testcd boot option. My PC has an ASUS Mainbord with an Intel Pentium III Processor.
When I shutdown the PC (with shutdown -h now) the PC will hang when the cd is ejected and I have to disconnect the power to be able to restart the PC. I have no idea what went wrong.
On the monitor are the following error massages:
end-request: I/O error,dev hdc, sector 114876 hdc: tray open (there are a lot of this massages with different sector numbers)
SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [2918b2b] SQUASHFS errror: Unable to read page block 2918b2b, seize 5811
/etc/init.d/halt: line 65: /sbin/halt: cannot execute binery file
INIT: no more process left in this runlevel.
Any suggestions how to solve the problem?

Looks like some sectors on the CD are defect. Please check the CD with 'readcd -c2scan ...' - see http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=problems
The sysrq magic might work around your issue anyway, try pressing "Alt + SysRq (Print Screen) + S U B". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REISUB

It cannot find the "halt" binary because you already removed the CD. http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue384
Workarounds: Use noeject bootoption (so that the CD is not ejected before reboot), or ensure that you have called the reboot or halt binary (depending on what you want to do) immediately before shutdown, for example by using "halt" or "poweroff" instead of "shutdown -h now". or by calling it "halt --help", so that it is still in disk cache.
The same applies for "reboot" vs. "shutdown -r now".
Hope that helps,
(yet another) Michael

Ah, great for pointing me into the right direction, Michael. :)
