Description Wendy Hung 2001-10-16 21:10:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1)Pensacola IA32 RC1 running on IBM xSeries 370.
2)Issue command to reboot:  init 6  

Actual Results:
Must manually reboot system.
System soft hangs after the following messages:

md: recovery thread finished...
md:mdrecoveryd(11) flushing signals.
modprobe:modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0
modprobe:modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0-0

Expected Results:
System should reboot successfully.
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-11-01 15:22:06 UTC 
does this still happen if you add "reboot=b" to the kernel commandline (in
/boot/grub/grub.conf) ?
Comment 2 Wendy Hung 2001-11-01 20:44:18 UTC 
yes, soft hang still occurs after adding "reboot=b" to grub.conf
Comment 3 IBM Bug Proxy 2001-11-08 15:54:58 UTC 
Please test with current GA release
Comment 4 Wendy Hung 2001-11-08 18:02:20 UTC 
This bug affects Pensacola IA32 7.2EE only.
GA'd RH 7.2 Gold reboots successfully.
Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2001-11-09 10:27:47 UTC 
Is this still true for the 2.4.9 errata kernel released for 7.2 ?
If so, I consider this fixed as the next pensacola kernels will be based on the
errata kernel.
Comment 6 Wendy Hung 2001-11-15 18:50:57 UTC 
No, this bug does not occur with the 7.2 kernel errata (2.4.9-7smp).
The bug was observed with the Pensacola RC1 kernel (2.4.9-0.12smp).
Comment 7 Arjan van de Ven 2001-11-15 18:52:40 UTC 
Ok then I consider this fixed as the 2.4.9-7/-13 kernels are a newer version of
the 2.4.9-0.12 kernel....
