When shutting down or rebooting slacko 5.3.3 after first boot it hangs at "Puppy Linux is shutting down..." and i have to use the powerbutton to power off. This happens both when saving and not saving to usb, or even using a liveCD. When saving to usb the saved filesystem i ruined when trying to boot again. I've tried both the 4g and higmem iso, but no difference. Any ideas whats wrong? Last edited by mikkelart on Mon 02 Jul 2012, 10:47; edited 1 time in total |

Hi mikkelart At a guess your machine is objecting to something in the shutdown script. Have you tried any other versions of PUppy, also what is the Spec of your machine? What happens if you Exit to Prompt and type shutdown? _________________ Wiki  Audacity 2.0.1 |

Yes, I've tried 5.3.1 which shut down just fine. However my wifi did not work in that version. I get the same result when exiting to prompt. Specs: Processor: IntelCore i7-2670QM @ 2.20GHz Memory: 8GB Graphic: Gforce GTX 560M Wifi: Atheros Ar9300 Driver: ath9k USB: 2GB |

at least one other person is having the same problem- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78580 suggest you report it here- Slacko 5.3.3 bug reports and feedback ---- (btw it may be easier to fix wifi in 5.3.1) _________________ Wiki Audacity 2.0.1 |

Dell computers seem to make problems with kernels later than 2.6.30/2.6.37/3.0 poweroff is fine but reboot seems to need "reboot=f" kernel parameter or "/sbin/reboot -f" option . |

I have a Dell computer, but neither poweroff or reboot is okay. |

Try boot option acpi=off or acpi=force Try with live CD At boot screen hit F2 key enter option Puppy acpi=off or puppy acpi=force _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

You can also add that to the initrd line in syslinux config on a flash drive or the kernel line in a grub hard drive install. _________________ Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram. Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram. Full installs |
