Fedora [15] won't restart- kind of complicated.

[LittleJakub]

When I shut down the computer, then turn it back on- everything goes fine- system loads, no errors.

BUT

When I am in a turned on system, and I ask it to restart (reboot), when the machine restarts and the system starts loading- I get a kernel panic. Every single time- but only when I ask the machine to restart.

If it helps, the error didn't appear on Fedora 14.

To make it more colorful- the same situation happens with my Ubuntu 11.04 (I have triple boot- Fedora, Windows and Ubuntu- I am learning Fedora to switch from Ubuntu). When I had Ubuntu 10.10- all was ok- when put 11.04- the error is the same- I can't restart my PC properly. The only system that loads as it should every time is Windows 7.

Could anyone pls help me? My guess is that it's some kind of kernel change, because the error didn't show up in the previous versions of both systems (Fedora and Ubuntu).

Did memtest (after 12 passes there were still no errors), tried acpi options, modeset, nomodeset (using grub2)- all for nothing...

I hope together we can solve the problem! If U need any logs, U have to tell me how to get them- still a newbie for Fedora ^^

Hi,

I have the same problem. Shutdown or "init 0" works while restart or "init 6" not.
Restart operation is hanging with the icon of fedora.

Last events tracked in the /var/log/messages are:
kernel: [ 54.459661] DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
kernel: [ 54.459677] INTR-REMAP: Request device [[0b:00.2] fault index 1c
kernel: [ 54.459680] INTR-REMAP:[fault reason 38] Blocked an interrupt request due to source-id verification failure

after these events, I can see the next reboot, forced because I pressed the power
button, 1st time to turn off and 2nd time to power on.

I don't know if you have the same events.

I let you know if I find something of useful.

Bye!

Hi,

I solved temporarily "my" problem by adding the parameter
nointremap
inside the /etc/grub.conf (link to /boot/grub/grub.conf).

Now restart works properly for me.

This is the actual "kernel" line that I have:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=VolGroup/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=it nointremap pci=noacpi rhgb quiet

Hope that this solves your issue for now.

Bye!

I've the same problem on Fedora 15. I tried "nointremap" and "noacpi", even "reboot=b", but nothing helpful. My laptop is ASUS K401E.

Set the kernel reboot option "reboot=pci", this should work. I tried reboot=b as well but this one did't work for me.

I tried PCI, but finally I installed the bootloader in first section instead of its current partition and it works. Thx all the same.

I don't know it was caused by partion table or bios, because no records were kept in log. This problem only occurs while I install bootloader in other partitions(not 1st prime because I have a windows partition). Even no bootloader can be installed when I try a Ubuntu version except 1st partition. However I'm sure the bootloader can be installed in other prime partions and I always assigned a /boot as bootale partition.
