Message-ID: <20100211205640.GB7729@phenom.dumpdata.com> (raw)

Has anybody seen similar issues with their above mentioned motherboard?

The user has tried the 2.6.32.8 (no work), 2.6.33-rc7(no work), and
2.6.26-2(Debian - works).

I've asked him to pass in different reboot= arguments but no luck. Are
there any outstanding issues in regards to reboot that are known to the
community?

Thanks.

P.S.

OK. I will download that tarball and compile it ASAP.

**EDIT**



Same story as the last, reboot still hangs even with the newest kernel available.
Again the oddest thing is how the Debian 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel reboots fine. Is
it possible that Linux does not yet support my style motherboard? Is it Debian
Lenny? Is there an issue with my /etc/inittab

If anyone else is running a similar hardware setup, what kernel are you using,
what kernel arguments do you pass at bootup, and does your Linux hang on
reboot?
