From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Description of problem: I have a board (MS-5184 by MSI Computer) that seems to have a faulty APM or ACPI implementation. As soon as runlevel 6 has been reached, the kernel is doing a panic. This is due to the halt settings that say "poweroff". I would like to see a feature to disable the "poweroff" setting without editing the init scripts (e.g. in sysconfig). Bug exists in 7.3 as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. init 6 / shutdown -r now Additional info:
what does the segment of the EIP address look like? 010:<something> or 06x:<something> ? does reboot=c on the kernel command line at least fix the reboot ?
Oh, sorry, I switched 0 and 6. I meant runlevel 0 (halt), sorry. I see: Power down. general protection fault: f000 autofs tulip iptable_filter ip_tables ide-scsi scsi_mod ide-cd cdrom ext3 jbd CPU: 0 EIP: 0050:[<00008b55>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010046 EIP is at Using_Versions [] 0xb54 (2.4.18-4) (lot of stuff with eax, ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi, ebp, esp, ds, es, ss) Process halt (pid: 884, stackpage=c1365000) (lot of stuff with Stack and Call Trace) Code: Bad EIP value.
