Description of problem: reboot fails and drops to a dracut shell. trying ./shutdown from the dracut shell gives me: Warning: signal caught! Cannot open font file latarcyrheb_sun16 Cannot open us Dropping to debug shell Only way to reboot at this time is to power off the machine by holding down the power button for 5+ seconds. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-015-3.git20120208.fc18 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. type reboot and hit enter 2. drop to the dracut shell 3. Actual results: doesn't reboot, only drops to dracut shell Expected results: reboots. Additional info:
more info. I rebuilt the initramfs with "dracut -f" and applied the patch referenced in bugzilla 789119 and nothing has changed. FWIW, just prior to dracut reporting that it's caught a signal I see: dracut: Disassembling device-mapper devices dracut: Disassembling mdraid devices Then it catches the signal, reports it can't open the font file and the keytable (latarcyrheb_sun16 and us), and drops to the shell prompt. If I exit the shell I get a kernel panic and have to hard reboot.

Yep, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
