Hello hope someone can help:-)
When I go to shutdown I use the halt command, It use to work good but now during the unmounting it stops at a message INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel. So I press Ctrl-Alt-Del and then get INIT: switching to runlevel:6 . that is as far as I can go then all I know to do is turn my PC off. When I boot back up I get a message /dev/hda1 was not cleanly un mounted, check forced. My PC must do this every time takes a wile and not good I'm sure please help.Thx

PS I'm sure I mucked something up it seemed to do this after I used webmin for startup and shutdown opptions although the only thing I altered was the startup programs and seince then I have tried to get things back the way they where:-)

I'm not sure why...but INIT runlevel 6 is "Reboot" Does it try to reboot when it hits that runlevel?

When the HD is not unmounted it will always check it....this is similar to the "computer not properly shutdown...running scandisk"

Hello Eric
It doesn't reboot just hangs on that message also. I guess in short my PC doesn't shutdown/unmount properly, but thx for reading.
