When I try to shutdown puppy (529) I get the following error message:
Code: Select all
modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command for snd_seq
This only started happening after I changed the lines at /etc/inittab in order to remove the login and password at bootup. Now my machine won't shutdown and I have to do it manually by reaching for the power button (on next bootup there is no 'incorrect shutdown' procedure)

You should rerun alsaconf. If no change, attach (or maybe replace from a live boot) a copy of your modules.conf.

Ran the setup wizard (alsa.conf), rebooted, no longer receiving 'modprobe fatal error' message, however machine still hangs at shutdown.

Menu >> shutdown >> exit to prompt and type: reboot
Perhaps the terminal will clue us in to what's happening..

getting the modprobe error again - it gives a filesystem location this time.

This is frugal, right? Maybe this returns us something: cat /var/log/messages | grep -i error

Does that mean you boot with Grub?

I think you'll have a /boot directory, yes? There'll be a grub something in it..
Your error suggests you may be running some sort of screensaver.. true?

Disable the saver >> restart X, then reboot. We'll know right away..

Considering it's size, maybe better to stick with the system default.

Actually I just tried to reboot and it rebooted pretty quickly, however now I don't have any ethernet or wifi connection (network wizard does not show any network interfaces). And also I cannot shutdown the machine. I'm posting this now from another computer.

I've tried it with screensaver enabled again, still same problem with network interfaces however.
