[OpenIndiana-discuss] Shutdown that never completes

[andre at ak47.co.za]

I did some troubleshooting and came up with the following. 

If I
have a monitor connected to my box then it always gets stuck at the
"syncing file systems...done" message. 

However, if I don't have a
monitor connected and I ssh to the machine, init 5 successfully shuts
down the system. Pressing the power button still leaves the machine
stuck at the "syncing file systems...done" message though. It's really
weird. 

I later found the thread that you are referring to and tried it
and it works for me. I just haven't tried this while I have a monitor
connected. But after adding this tweak pressing the power button also
shuts down the system successfully (with no monitor connected).

mashine off after "init 5". It does everything it is supposed to do up
to the point where is says, "syncing file systems...done", but then
never turns the hardware off. "init 6" on the other hand reboots the
hardware successfully after the "syncing file systems...done" message.
Any ideas? Regards ______________________________**_________________
