I have installed RedHat v8.0 on my Sony VAIO laptop (model PCG-GRZ610). Every time I shutdown or re-boot, I get the message "No more processes left in this runlevel" and the computer just hangs. This originally happened with the stock Red Hat kernel. This laptop has acpi and apparently does not support APM, I thought that might be the problem so I downloaded the 2.4.22 kernel, configured ACPI and removed APM, no luck (though I now have the battery monitor working:-)). I tried booting into single user mode, shutting down everything I could and managed to remove all of the kernel modules by hand and tried to shutdown, same problem. I heard somewhere that there were some problems in the USB drivers at some point, so I tried rebuilding the kernel without them, this did no good either. The system boots pretty cleanly, dmesg doesn't reveal anything suspicious. The only other problem I had with it was kudzu. It caused the system to hang on bringing up lo0, and, I think, on the pcmcia startup at boot time. I have since removed the kudzu startup and shutdown scripts, and the system boots fine. I'm fresh out of ideas, if anyone else has some, I'd appreciate it Thanks, Ted. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
