It's happened a number of times here... same thing... the final umount
call fails (now without the ultrasound driver) I copied it down because
I did a shutdown -h, so the machine didn't reboot. Anyone seen what
could have been causing it? (anyone miss the OOPS first time around
let me know, I'll email it directally.)
It's getting anoying because
A) It fails to unmount the (2 gig) partition so I have to fsck...
B) It dosn't allways happen.
C) It takes approx 2-3 minutes for a full reboot cycle to keep trying it.
Gonna try single user and lots of mount -a/umount -a to see if I can
reproduce it.
