Description Martin Hierling 2006-08-12 10:31:33 UTC

Hi,

i have debuged a system not halting or rebooting. It boots via tftp/pxe and than mounts the root filesytem via iSCSI. While rebooting or shutting down the scripts 
/etc/init.d/(shutdown|reboot).sh are called which then call halt or reboot with the parameters "-ihdp" or "-idpk". The parameter -i shuts down all interfaces after that the sync for the harddiscs doenst work and the system hangs, no reboot or poweroff. Shutting down the network devices is useless because one millisecond later the system powers off. 

Booting the root device over the network is becomming more popular in the next future (blade center, grid computing) so that gentoo baselayout should be ready for that. 

regards Martin
