This is the first time it happens to me! Under woody I've compiled my own, very light kernel 2.4.13-1 (Bunk's stuff) for my hardware eliminating many options I don't need.
Now, it all works ok (in syslog there isn't anything strange or missing dependency warning) but when I shutdown woody hangs endlessly to "unmounting filesystems........" and I'm compelled to switch off the PC. This causes a complete and annoying check of the partition when booting again. Why is that and what should I check? Please help Vittorio
