From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: If I reboot my computer it will load the grub screen and then attempt to load the kernel. it will only get as far as: root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img It will then just sit here for a few seconds and then say kernel cannot be loaded press any key to restart. If I turn off the computer completely before or after this point the kernel will load fine and boot cleanly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.95-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot Fedora core 2.let grub boot either automatically or by menu selection 3.watch kernel not load Actual Results: kernel will not load and will say kernel cannot be loaded press any key to restart Expected Results: kernel should boot Additional info: All it takes for me to make the system boot is to shutdown then turn it on and let it boot. reboot will have this effect everytime. I can press a button as it says for days and it will error out the same until the computer is turned off and then turned back on
Is there an updated BIOS available for your machine? Things like this are often caused by bugs in BIOS implementations of soft reboots.
