Can you SSH in? If so try using shutdown with the "-F" option. If not there is probably something that you can pass to the kernel, perhaps someone else on the list will know what it is.

This system has only a SCSI drive. I was able to reboot the system with no problem. I then applied some updates and did some other stuff and when I tried to reboot the system the boot process stopped when trying to run fsck on the root, and only partition. The problem is that the partition is mounted read-write by the time rc.sysinit is called so fsck gets an error that causes rc.sysinit to call sulogin. I did a goggle search and noticed one other person had a similar problem but no one responded to his request for an explanation. Here is the part of rc.sysinit that is causing the problem: if [ -z "$fastboot" -a "X$ROOTFSTYPE" != "Xnfs" ]; then STRING=$"Checking root filesystem" echo $STRING initlog -c "fsck -T -a $fsckoptions /" rc=$? Can someone tell me what might have caused this problem and/or what a solution to the problem, other than not running the fsck, might be to fix it?
