RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mike Burns 2012-03-25 13:49:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
After performing a TUI installation, the reboot step never completes, ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything.

This requires a manual power cycle.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.3

How reproducible:
twice in 2 tries

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install via tui
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Reboot hangs

Expected results:
Reboot works correctly

Additional info:
Installation appears to be fine, power cycle brings machine up running correctly.
Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2012-03-30 15:10:36 UTC 
This only appears during installation.
When selecting reboot on an installed system it works fine.

To reboot after an installation the following procdeure can be used:
- F2, Drop to emergency shell
- kill ovirt-config-install
- $ reboot
Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-03-30 21:10:13 UTC 
Patch does not solve reboot after an install.  Both auto-install and TUI install hang when getting to the reboot step.

Workaround:  everything is complete except the reboot, so forcing the machine to reboot via a managment card (drac, ilo, rsa, imm, etc) will work.  Also, a power cycle of the machine should work as well.
Comment 5 Fabian Deutsch 2012-04-05 17:43:38 UTC 
Please review the following patch which should solve the problem after an auto-install.
