From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: When I ask Linux (both RedHat and Fedora) to reboot my machine, issueing the command: shutdown -r "now" or the command: reboot or the command: init 6 the system shutting down is carried out regularly, but when the machine starts the subsequent operations of the POST, the BIOS reaches a certain point in the boot memory test and then stops with an error found at a certain memory location, saying something like: Cell (...): Value written: (...), value read: (...) where, obviously, the value read is different from the one written. Reading the man page bootparam with the command: man bootparam I found an option that, given to the kernel at boot time, has solved the problem. The option is: reboot=bios and must be put among the argument of the kernel line executed (in grub or in lilo) at boot time. Many Thanks to everybody. Luca "FISH" PERSICO Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.init 6 2. 3. Actual Results: The problem is described above Expected Results: No memory error at all. Additional info: My computer is a CLEVO2700S with SiS chipset and video card SiS with shared memory.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
