RH 6.1 freezes shutting down interface eth0

Post by Kevin McBreart » Sat, 25 Dec 1999 04:00:00



RH 6.1 freezes during shutdown when "shutting down interface eth0". NIC is a
3Com Etherlink XL. I noticed that the PCMCIA service was started after
interface eth0 was started, and I thought that might cause a problem (this
is a desktop system, no PCMCIA). But in etc/sysconfig/pcmcia the PCMCIA
parameter is set to "NO".

Therefore, my questions are as follows:

- what could be causing the freeze when shutting down eth0, since starting
the eth0 doesn't report any problem ?
- could the PCMCIA service starting after eth0 be causing the problem ?
- if so, why is PCMCIA starting even if PCMCIA=NO in etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ?
How can I disable the PCMCIA service ?

Thanks,

1. RH 6.1 freezing when "shutting down interface eth0"

I have RH 6.1 running on a Pentium Pro 180, with a 3Com Etherlink XL NIC.
Everything is OK except when shutting down it freezes on "shutting down
interface eth0", even though no problems are reported on startup when
starting eth0.

I noticed that the PCMCIA service is started after eth0, and since this is a
desktop PC (no PCMCIA) I thought this might cause the problem. When I
checked in etc/sysconfig/pcmcia the PCMCIA parameter is "NO".

Therefore, my questions:

- what could be causing the freeze when "shutting down interface eth0" ?
- could it be the PCMCIA service starting after eth0 ?
- if so, why is the PCMCIA service begin started even if PCMCIA=NO in
etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ? How can I disable the PCMCIA service ?
