Description of problem:
After the installation completed it printed that it was restarting the
system, but it never did. I ended up hitting the power switch to reboot it. The
system came up fine and clean after that.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-08-21 06:08:26 UTC

What type of laptop?

Comment 2 Daryll 2002-08-21 06:27:52 UTC

I listed it, it's a ThinkPad A20p. That's a 700 Mhz P4 with 384 MB of RAM. I was
using a LinkSys Cardbus 10/100 Mb/s ethernet card. Rage 128 graphics at 1400x1050

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-08-22 19:41:44 UTC

Arjan do you know of problems with these laptops responding to the kernel
requesting it reboots?

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2002-08-22 19:45:14 UTC

bios problem ;(
The normal kernel will most likely not trigger it, but we can't fix it in the
installer kernel since it'll break other broken-bios machines

Comment 5 Daryll 2002-08-22 19:48:11 UTC

Fix one, break another. *sigh*

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/
