You can put "rootwait" into cmdline.txt to wait for the drive to spin up. Apparently there is rootwait in cmdline.txt by default, and I did hook up a screen to see the boot process. What I observed is that pi stops waiting after a while, i.e. it waits for about 3 seconds and if the disk is not read...

As gkreidl pointed out, I would also suggest getting a powered hub. You are probably on the hairy edge of not having enough power to support anything else with your current setup and you may experience seemingly random failures in the future. Any cheap and reliable powered hubs to recommend? I've s...

You can try: hdparm -S 0 /dev/sda (uppercase "S" zero) to disable standby timeout. Does not work with all drives, but worth a shot. Be careful with hdparm as you can do some real damage with some of the options.... Thanks for your suggestion, here's the output after running the command: /dev/sda: s...

Just to add on, I'm powering my Pi via a 5V 1A wall charger to the Pi.

Setup: Raspberry Pi model B (rev 2) running Raspbian Wheezy Everything up to date (ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and sudo rpi-update /boot on class 4 SD card root on external HDD External HDD is a 2.5" 1TB enclosure, USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge by JMicron HDD connects directly to ...

Thanks for the tips and also for all the help and assistance given so far. I will see what I can do with what I currently have now

I reinstalled Raspbian Wheezy on another SD card and managed to reboot successfully, so is this considered a corrupted system for the previous installation? If that's the case is there any methods to restore the system? I would like to minimise the need to set up my whole system again.

I have looked though all the logs that can be read, dmesg did not reveal anything, neither did the past dmesg revealed anything. I managed to find something in the messages though, as follows: messages.jpg And also, I turned on pi without the ethernet cable and it was able to shutdown normally, whic...

Another thing I observe with fdisk is that sometimes it doesn't run properly without root, so it would be good to try running with
sudo fdisk -l

Hope that I did help in a way

Are there any other logs that would be helpful in finding out the problem? I will gladly post them here.

It didn't hang there actually, I ran the command many times and it didn't help. Same output.

Here is the output after I managed to hook it onto a screen.
Seems like some issues with some daemon.

Thanks for your response, I have always kept Rapsberry Pi up to date, but still ran the above mentioned commands regardless. The sudo shutdown -r now did not bring the pi back up. I do know that a sudo halt will require a manual power cycle to bring it up. But here's the description of the RPi after...

Hi, thanks for your reply, I'm on Raspbian Wheezy, reinstalled just recently, the firmware is up to date as well. I ran sudo poweroff regardless, but all I can observe is that Raspberry Pi is still powered on with ethernet on but no response to ping or whatsoever, it used to shutdown completely and ...

skykinetic

Hi, as the title already showed a summary of the problem, I won't elaborate on that. Basically the ethernet does not power down after sudo halt This has also prevented a normal reboot. Checked dmesg but only those output during boot can be seen. It used to work properly previously. Anyone has got an...
