Well now, there's gotta be sumpthin bigger behind this than resurrecting a three year old thread.

Is this install on an ext2 file system? This alone should say: mount

I've got a usb install I can try this on but you should look too.

Also, you went from 5.28 to 5.29 at one point.. <also known as> an in place upgrade, correct?

Boot your 5.29 disk live: puppy pfix=ram and hit the install icon.

As I'm sure you can cancel at an appropriate time, does it ask if you'd like to upgrade?

I'm not positive but recall this type install keeps your current setup, replacing only system files.

If something got corrupted, and it sure sounds like it.. this may be one way to recover.

Try'n make sure you answer all questions.

Code:
sh-4.1# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=writeback)
none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=2,mode=620)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
shmfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=244152k)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=writeback)

This is a full install and I do not have the install disk anymore. But I'm pretty sure it was not upgraded from 528 to 529.[/code]

Booted up this morning and everything seems to be back to normal - volume control in taskbar, sound has returned, printer back, network ok. WTF Mad

Shutdown not happening however, hangs at black screen with 'puppy is shutting down...'

Before what follows, one'a these: cat /var/log/messages | grep Bug

==

If during the day you get this, reboot and at the boot prompt type: puppy acpi=off

Whether this is power related or caused by a graphics or network card, time will tell.

It goes without saying.. you'll be minding that shutdown / reboot time..

yeah sure, but puppy doesn't give me any opportunity to enter any code on bootup, it just goes quickly into desktop

The line in your menu.lst up top >> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro

Make it look like this, then save:
Code:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro acpi=force

We'll try this first.

Best to determine if the holdup's power related. Swap in: acpi=off
