I installed Fedora 13 on a Gateway E2000 and have found that restart/reboot
freezes, but a shutdown does a full power down correctly.

By default goes to the graphical screen, the same for both, but with
shutdown, it says shutting down and then powers off. The restart shows the
restarting message, but then stops responding. No keyboard lights change,
no CTRL-ALT-DEL, nothing. Only a forced power off gets the machine going.

Tried it from a terminal window same results.
Tried reboot -f same results.
Even loaded busybox and used busybox reboot -f

Don't see anything in the log files...

It doesn't come up with an error on the reboot, so it seems to be shutting
down correctly, but just not doing the final reboot process.

Thanks.

The reboot=b seems to fix the problem, but the reboot option seems to work
just fine with all the kernels I've built for my g4l project from kernel.org on the
same machine, so why does the Fedora kernel do this?

Thanks.

I would guess either:

a) a patch in the Fedora kernel is behaving oddly with your hardware.

and/or

b) a config option is different. You can look at the fedora config
in /boot/config*

PS: No need to reply direct to me on mailing list posts, I'm subscribed
to the list too.
