I have installed Linux 2.0.28.
and have the problem to shutdown the machine.
When I give the
- key combination CTRL-ALT-DEL or
- the command as root: reboot
it answers always:
- shutdown is already running
and does nothing.
Can anybody help me?

It explains exactly what you will probably need to have so that the new
kernel runs correctly. By the way, what I had to replace was the
sysvinit package, containing shutdown, halt, boot and other stuff. BUT,
it was NOT the only thing I had to replace!
GOOD LUCK!

You do have a stale /etc/shutdown.pid file laying around . Delete it.
