Description Will Kemp 2012-04-04 22:56:06 UTC
Description of problem:
The bootup process never completes. Towards the point where X would normally start, the system reboots.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.9-1.fc16.i686 and 3.2.10-3.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Happens every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch computer on
2. watch bootup messages
3. system reboots
  
Actual results:
Bootup never completes

Expected results:
Bootup completes

Additional info:

It's an Acer Aspire One D270 netbook. Cedarview chipset. Atom N2600. GMA 3600.

This happens with the 3.2.9-1.fc16.i686 and 3.2.10-3.fc16.i686 kernels, but not with 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686

With systemd target set to graphical, reboot happens after the following messages

Starting Open-FCoE Initiator
Started System Logging Service

(sometimes one, sometimes the other is the last message displayed).

With systemd target set to multi-user, reboot happens after

Started Console System Startup Logging

In both cases, there is a longish pause (maybe 20 seconds) after the last message is displayed, before it reboots.

F17 has CONFIG_DRM_GMA_3600=y set.  If you haven't done so already, you might try upgrading to F17 and seeing if that helps.
