This has been driving me to distraction too, as the combination of privoxy and epiphany-webkit is great. I think I have just stumbled onto a temporary workaround, which hopefully will help to locate the bug. If you disable IPv6, it starts correctly. I put the line:- net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ip

I can also confirmn that 0.2.2 does not work on an IBM X31. The boot process works up to the disk fsck, then simply stops. 0.1.8 works perfectly. It's a definitive issue, repeatable enough for me to have wrtten a script to recover using the Live CD after an update. -- mountall: /proc/filesyst

@montblanc - sorry about the delay in replying. Yes, that's exactly right. If I either disable my nfs mount in fstab, meaning it never mounts the nfs share, or I unmount it before shutting down, then all works perfectly. The moment my machine has a live nfs mount at shutdown time, it gets no fur

It's an NFS umount issue. I've now tried using Natty's umountnfs.sh, but there's no difference, and I've also tried altering fstab to use an IP address rather than a name. No difference to the failure. The immediate shutdown inconsistency is because the NFS mount hasn't yet happened, triggered b
