When you have a smbfs partition mounted (this was mounted as root, from a Win95 box with a password supplied), the reboot procedure hangs when unmounting file systems, making a hardware reboot necesarry.
Hrmm... you do have the 'netfs' service on, correct?
Can't reproduce this here on a hybrid beta/6.1 system.
Still can't reproduce it on a 6.2 beta Alpha system. Are you doing anything on the smb partition?
It happens when netfs isn't started - I didn't start it, as the fs is mounted manually
OK. A workaround (runs netfs stop automatically when needed) should be in initscripts-5.04-1.
