Hi,
I run raid1 on a debian etch server.
If I do "halt" = "shutdown -h now"
I have the following output from my system on shutdown.
Moreover, the sytem takes an extremely long time to shut down, with all the timeouts :).
output below:

While if I do "reboot" = "shutdown -r now" there is no problem :).
*************************
I have previously been using Sata devices for raid-1 for 2 years using Debian Sarge.
I have just moved over to Debian Etch for a production server.
For my data storage I am using 2 Promise 4 port SATA 150 TX4 cards, which have worked well with kernel 2.6.12 in past.
I have 7 SATA data hard drives (either 320G or 500G WD SATA drives attached to the server):
I am using 5 drives as degraded individual Raid-1's on single drives,
and one full mirrored Raid-1 for a pair of drives. (these are /dev/sda1 through /dev/sdg1).
(I keep legacy data online on the degraded raid1 and new data is on the mirrored Raid1).
All 7 drives are attached to two "Promise 4 Port 150 TX4 cards".
The system drive is on a separate Pata IDE connector.
I blacklisted the kernel module for the sata_via module that controls the built in motherboard sata controller.
I am using stock debian 2.6.18-5-486 kernel. I am running stock Debian mdadm package 2.5.6-9.
The system seems to work reasonably otherwise.
How do I preven these error messages on shutdown?
Note: If I do "reboot" = "shutdown -r now" all is fine.
(Note: I don't want to confuse things, however the following is also interesting.
If I put both "Promise 4 port SATA 150 Tx4" cards and "Promise 4 port Sata 300 TX4" cards on one system
then in addition to the above errors I also get a kernel oops during the same part of the shutdown sequence.
Note that the system seems to function fine untill I do "shutdown -h now" and there is no problem
with "shutdown -r now".
Very strange!
Thank you,
Mitchell Laks
