From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-7.0.8 i686) Description of problem: On my Compaq Deskpro EN, and on any Digital 3500s that I try, the reboot sequence fails to reboot. It hangs shortly after unmounting the filesystems, and sends the monitor into a 'sleep' state. This problem occurs regardless of any flash BIOS updates. This problem doesn't occur with Mandrake Linux 7.2, when installed on these computers. This problem occurs if I try to reboot from X, or from BASH with the 'reboot' command. I've tried altering the lilo.conf file to include the kernel parameters "reboot=hard,warm", "reboot=hard,cold", "reboot=bios,warm" and "reboot=bios,cold", and each time I ran 'lilo' afterwards. None of these parameters fix the fault. Pressing alt-ctrl-del after the system has hung does nothing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat Linux 7.0 on a Digital 3500 or Compaq Deskpro EN. 2. Attempt a reboot. Actual Results: The system hangs completely. The monitor goes into a 'sleep' mode, with it's LED a solid orange. Alt-ctrl-del doesn't do anything. Expected Results: The system should have rebooted. Additional info: I've tried to upgrade the BIOS with a flash program. The upgrade worked successfully, but the reboot hang still occurs.
using RH 7.3 on a Compaq 6000 and having the same problems. I assume it must be due to the signal RH is passing to the BIOS to call the reboot? I didn't have this problem with the other "operating system" Is there are work around as it is making remote management a real problem !
