Don't know if this might be hardware or software related, but it seems that every time I attempt to do a remote reboot of the machine, everything shuts down normally, and it never comes back. Just returned from the co-lo site, and when I plugged the monitor in, it had gone to the point of "rebooting" and hung. This is 4.3 on x-86.

What commands are you using to reboot the machine and what does the machine show that it was hanging on whenever it was attempting to reboot?

Try these (in this order) and see if any of them solve the problem: 1) Upgrade your BIOS 2) Try booting with acpi=off - -- Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob at suespammers.org> "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEgkoOpdyWzQ5b5ckRAtxWAKCBGeFwmQtrwbvF4OGhlidca9u8bQCfRWVA grqmnRPa7lWdNPTWBA5epf4=rh7v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The machine shuts down properly, then at the very end of the things that are shutting down, I see the text "rebooting", but the process never completes.

This is 4.3 on x-86.I have the same problem with an a few old Intel 815 chipset P3 boxes, but it's never annoyed me enough to fix it. 8-) I agree with Rodrigo that it's likely some sort of acpi issue Cheers,
