FC2 reboot problem

Hi.

When i reboot my computer from FC2 the HDD stops like it does during shutdown (but fans still working

). Then, after MB BIOS have loaded, the HDD starts spin again...
Is anybody tell me what i must do to reboot my computer without HDD stopping?

I don't think it will be easy to do. Supposedly running

Code:

/sbin/poweroff -h

puts hard drives in standby mode.

Take a look at

Code:

man reboot

The education in the shutdown process will be interesting, but probably will take far more time than the few seconds it will save.

It's not as if you have to reboot all the time, right?

This got fixed at some point in the 2.6.6 rawhide kernels. An updated kernel for FC 2 (2.6.6-1.427) was just released today, and it contains this fix. My hard drive now keeps running through a reboot.
