ISDN Driver Cannot Be Unloaded During Shutdown
Support knowledgebase (jbartsh_isdn_shutdown_failure)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Symptom
During the system shutdown, the ISDN driver cannot be unloaded. The system
hangs.
The error message may look similar to this:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for ippp0 to become free
Cause
An error in the by default installed Kernel 2.4.10
Solution
You can download an unofficial kernel update from our FTP server to fix this problem.
Please proceed as follows::
Log in as user root.
Check which kernel version you are currently using:
uname -r
rpm -qf `awk -F= '/image/{print $2}' < /etc/lilo.conf`
An output example:
tux# uname -r
2.4.10-4GB
tux# rpm -qf `awk -F= '/image/{print $2}' < /etc/lilo.conf`
k_deflt-2.4.10-23
Download the corresponding kernel from the following URL.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/kernel/2.4.10/
Install the kernel with following commands:
rpm -Uhv k_XX.i386.rpm
mk_initrd
lilo
(Obviously XX stands for the version you are using)
Finally, restart your computer.
