To prevent filesystem damage, try the following. Break into the kernel debugger, and kill the auth server using: !task_terminate($task5) Then continue using "c", and /hurd/startup should cleanly shutdown the system. > Any idea what's causing this? Any advice on how to debug it further? Ideas yes, but none that is readily available. 1/ improve our subhurd support and reproduce the shutdown problems in a subhurd, then debug From the other hurd system. 2/ prevent sysvinit from killing your shell by marking it as important using proc_mark_important, then investigate using this shell. Not sure if that would by itself interfere with the shutdown, but it would probably work. Cheers, Justus
