Description Karel Volný 2016-09-21 07:58:49 UTC

Description of problem:
I've accidentally messed my boot device and the computer started booting Fedora which I didn't want at the moment. So when prompted for the password to unlock my encrypted partition, I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del combo to soft reboot and reselect the proper device. The system didn't react to that ...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.7.4-200.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a Fedora setup with encrypted system partition (I don't have separate /home, not sure how much is it relevant here)
2. wait for disk password prompt on boot
3. hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys combo

Actual results:
nothing happens

Expected results:
/boot is unmounted, buffers flushed, system reboots

Additional info:
reporting for kernel as by this time in the boot sequence, I belive no handler is installed which would block the keys combo (like some graphical interfaces like to do) - please reassign as needed and sorry if my guess is wrong
