FAI waiting for background jobs to finish

[David Hausheer]

Hi

I noticed a strange problem when running FAI from a ramdisk. Everything 
works fine, but at the end FAI keeps reporting "Waiting for background 
jobs to finish." although no installation jobs are running anymore. 
Thus, I have to reboot the machine manually.

I investigated the problem and added in jobsrunning()

echo `ps r | egrep -v "ps r|TIME COMMAND"`

which results into something like

817 ? R+ 0:00 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rcS

Hence, it seems that the parent script is still running, when 'ps r' runs.

If root is mounted over NFS, the problem does not appear.

Any ideas?

David
