Coincidence?

[Nick Christopher]

GRUB is great and helped me out of a tight LILO spot!

That said, since I've switched my Linux box over to using GRUB  I've
started seeing the umount  on shutdown intermittently fail. It complains
of a devices being busy. About every second shutdown I get this and have
to fsck on the way back up.

I've googled the net and read the grub docs & FAQ, as well as some of
this lists archive without seeing this ever mentioned.

A coincidence? Should I look elsewhere or might grubs reading of stage 2
in my boot partition be somehow causing /boot to be busy?

System Notes:
    RH 7.1
    Kernel 2.4.3
    Grub 0.5.96.1 (compiled from source, passed test, installed)
    My /boot partition (hd0,1) is not my / partition (hd0,6)
    My grub entry:
        title linux
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /bzImage-2.4.3-7 vga=792 read-only root=/dev/hda7

P.S.  Not sure about that read-only above... I tried it in hopes it
would stop the problem but didn't seem to have any effect.
