Description Kelly-Rand 2007-08-15 17:21:15 UTC
Description of problem:
The behavior below began with the latest kernel versions, the ones that changed
the naming convention.

Fc6 to F7 Restart Hangs Both Ways
When I logout and do a restart to boot from one OS to the other the computer
hangs after selecting the OS in Grub. If I shut down and then start up I have no
problem. 
This does not happen if I restart and select the older kernel versions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-33.fc7
vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-32.fc6


How reproducible:

Every restart into these kernels.

Additional info:

#boot=/dev/hda

The panic screen lists what I believe are memory registers with hex content.
Also a list of library files. I will try to transcribe this when I next reboot.

Comment 1 Kelly-Rand 2007-08-19 13:28:35 UTC
I have since deduced that this is a problem specific to F7. This behavior on
restart is associated with the 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 kernel as it does not happen with
the prior kernel. I have discovered that the restart hang also occurs when you
restart F7 from this same kernel version, ie: lets say you update or change a
parameter that requires reboot to take effect.

Anyway I did copy down some lines from the panic screen.

Please boot in 50-line mode (add vga=ask to the kernel command line, then select
80x50 mode) and take a picture of the screen with a digital camera. Attach that
to the bug report.

Comment 4 Wojciech Kazubski 2007-09-24 09:47:35 UTC
I also have such problem on all 2.6.22 kernels, on my x86_64 machine. Other 
machines running i686 kernel work fine with each upgrade.
I have to use the last working kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2007-09-24 23:39:31 UTC
adding "reboot=cold" to the kernel command line should fix this but it's really
just a workaround.

Full list of reboot modes for i386:

  warm
  cold
  bios
  hard
  smp

x86_64:

  warm
  cold
  triple
  bios
  kbd
  force


Comment 6 Kelly-Rand 2007-09-25 02:14:55 UTC
My custom compiled kernel has no problem with restarts. It is based on the
2.6.22.1-33 kernel.

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can.

There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel?

If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no additional information lodged.

Comment 8 Kelly-Rand 2008-01-11 20:20:49 UTC
This bug is no longer an issue for me. I am now using the 2.6.23.12-52 F7 kernel
and have no problems with reboot.

Comment 9 Christopher Brown 2008-01-11 21:13:07 UTC
Great news - thanks for filing originally. Will close CURRENTRELEASE.
