Yes - me...
I have DELL Latitude CPiA and I had the same problem in Mandrake 6.1
This was solved when I reconfigured and recompiled kernel.
In Mandrake 7.0 all is OK.

Subject: [expert] `shutdown -r now' fails to work
Hello,
I have succesfully installed Mandrake 7.0 on a Dell Inspiron 3700 laptop.
(with Gnome as desktop).
(Mobile Pentium III, UltraDMA/ATA-33, Ati Rage Mobility-P, Ess Maestro-2E)
Everything seems to be working OK except `shutdown -r now'.
This happens from both runlevel 3 or runlevel 5.
The machine seems to do a perfect shutdown but does not startup
again: the screen remains backlit and the disk whirs but that is it.
Shutdown with reboot worked under Win98 before I removed it!
In `/var/log/messages', after `shutdown -r now' you can indeed see:
`syslog: klogd shutdown succeeded'
`exiting on signal 15'
but no:
`syslog 1.3-3: restart.' after this to start up again.
I have checked things like `/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt', etc. and as
far as I can see everything appears to be correct.
Has anybody experienced anything like this? (on a laptop?)
Could it be a Mandrake problem or perhaps a BIOS/laptop problem?
(Nothing in the BIOS setup suggests possible problems)
Alexander
