Description ROY LEEMBRUGGEN 2005-12-11 15:38:26 UTC

System hangs at last moment with message 'Please standby while rebooting computer...' This happens also from runlevel 3.
Booting from DVD menu > Installation Mode > Repair installed system did not help
Using Boot Loader GRUB. Also now unable to change boot loader location from MBR to  
/dev/hda3 by running YaST.

Hm. So you say you cannot even boot from DVD any longer?
Or does it mean the rescuse system doesn't find your disks anymore?

Do you happen to have a SATA disk?

No problem booting, either normally or from DVD. also Shutdowns normally - only problem is RE-BOOTING a running system. This is an HP Compaq nc6120 Notebook PC  with Intel Centrino CPU.

No SATA, but my Tower PC does have a SATA disk, and the same kernel patch worked perfect on the Tower PC, booting and rebooting normally.

Pavel, can you look into this? 

May be related to patches.fixes/poweroff-fix

Comment 4 Pavel Machek 2005-12-19 21:55:39 UTC

Can you try booting with acpi=off? There are few kernel commandline parameters that control booting, do any of them help?

Please file separate bug report for YaST problem.

poweroff-fix is unlikely to affect this one, unfortunately: I believe that this message is after any driver work.

Comment 5 Pavel Machek 2006-01-11 10:25:30 UTC

There should be some fixes (blacklist) in 2.6.15. Can you try that kernel?
