Greetings!
I'm new to Linux and to Fedora, and having some minor problems with
installing it on my laptop (a Clevo SmartNote) :-).
1.,
My greatest problem is that I cannot shut down the computer 9 of 10
times, due I get the following message on the console:
...
Halting system
md: stopping all md devices
Synchronizing SCSI cache for disks sda
And here it stops functionating ;] I waited for ages but nothing
happens. It sometimes replying for CTRL + C/D, but then it gives the
same message and still does nothing (afterwards it seems its totally
freezes).
Can I disable this thing somehow? Any tips how to solve it? I was
searching the web for any solutions but haven't found anything :-(
I was told I should try to downgrade the kernel to make fedora recognize
it a simple hda rather than a sda. I've downgraded the kernel to 2.6.18,
but I still experience the problem. I'm frightened a little if this
could damage my HDD, and it makes me a little frustrated :-(
2.,
When I start the computer, it takes about 5 minutes, because the HAL
daemon seems to fail or something. Where to start looking for the
problem? I'm curious because everything seems to working fine...
Regardless of this startup / shutdown problems I'm proud of having
Fedora installed :D
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!!
Richard
