Details

Description:
since the new initscripts package, I haven't got those messages (Stopping network ... [Done]) anymore on shutdown, only the "broadcast from root... system going down for shutdown" or something like that is shown. The shutdown process appears to function like it should, but no messages are shown... I halt my machine by doing "sudo halt" in a terminal (mostly from within an openbox session). The messages do appear when I start/stop a daemon manually (e.g. sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart).

Additional info:
* package version(s)
initscripts 2008.05-1

Steps to reproduce:
I get it when I shut down my machine like described above, I have no idea how to troubleshoot this to get more descriptive information but I'll be happy to follow directions to do so if someone else does.
This task depends upon

Works like it always did here..

Can you try switching to vt1 and then shutting down? I thought these messages showed only on vt1.

Regardless, this has to be due to some combination of framebuffer/video drivers on your machine. I bet if you DON'T boot into X at all, it will work as it always did

I always log in to vt1 and do startx from there, I used to go back there automatically when I halted and those messages were printed. I'll close my xsession first and halt my machine from vt1 tonight to check. I use the catalyst drivers for my radeon x600 and I do use a framebuffer.

Sorry for the delay, the messages are printed when I shut down from vt1. Is this catalysts fault then?

Yeah, I think so. I dunno if there's anything we can do here.
