I disabled selinux - that made no difference I stopped and disabled firewalld - that made no difference. I can boot this machine after I turn it off and then back on, but when I try to do a shutdown now -r, the system hangs right after picking the OS that is desired "CentOS Linux..". After the machine is turned off the boot process occurs normally after this choice and I get two penguins in the upper left hand corner, and the boot proceeds. When I do a shutdown now -r, I do not get to the penguins and the machine hangs forever until I either unplug it or press the power button for 5 seconds. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Sorry, if posting a bug report was the wrong venue !!! There are no messages in the message logs that I could identify as problems, but the system fails before the OS is active. I have not updated the BIOS, and do not know how to do this... but this is my testing machine so I am more than open to doing this. I am using a Gateway SX2855-UB12P. I will take a look at the Gateway site; if there are tutorials you could point me to I would appreciate it. The only hardware that has been added has been a usb ethernet connection so that I have the motherboard nic card and the usb nic connection. I wanted to use this setup to test the firewalld capabilities for a network gateway. The machine does not have a monitor, and is without a mouse or keyboard. It should be noted that this machine previously had CentOS 6 with a 3T Seagate drive that worked without a problem, but recently developed a disc failure. I replaced the drive with a 4T WesternDigital drive and installed CentOs 7.0 from a DVD. Thanks again for your help!!!

Re: [CentOS] CentOs 7.0 and reboot failure
I don't want to hi-jack this but I may have a clew for you. I am troubleshooting a similar problem and have found a trail. I recently installed centos7 on my (improperly complicated system) and sometimes it will boot and sometimes not. My problem is apparently caused by having three hard drives . From boot to boot they get mounted in different orders. The drive with my os7 sometimes is mounted as/dev/sda and sometimes /dev/sdc. In grub.cfg on the os7 partition there is a statement "set root=hd0, msdos3" I think that may be the villain but I don't know where it comes from. (The kernel lines use blockid's,) That statement is in centos7, but not in centos6 where I have not had the problem. I intend to search a while, and maybe learn something or take out a couple of drives.Hopefully this helps. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks, Greg Ennis Centos 7 runs systemd ,so may need to use 'systemctl reboot' to reboot and 'systemctl poweroff' to shutdown system. I suggest to read systemctl manpage ( towards the end) I think the shutdown command on CentOS 7 already reflects that. # ls -l /usr/sbin/shutdown lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Oct 23 16:52 /usr/sbin/shutdown -> ../bin/systemctl # ls -l /usr/sbin/reboot lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Oct 23 16:52 /usr/sbin/reboot -> ../bin/systemctl Thanks for the tip. I always use systemctl command, was not aware it was linked. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOs 7.0 and reboot failure
haven't actually done it but I'm pretty sure you can still add 1 to the grub2 vmlinuz line documentation also suggests systemd.unit=rescue.target On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 3:53 PM, Frank Cox wrote: > On Sun, 23 Nov 2014 15:46:59 -0500 > Tony Schreiner wrote: > > > if you look in /lib/systemd/system > > > > runlevel1.target is a link to rescue.target > > > > I think the command is > > > > systemctl isolate rescue.target > > > > (or runlevel1.target if you prefer) > > How would you get there from the grub commandline? > > -- > MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] CentOs 7.0 and reboot failure
if you look in /lib/systemd/system runlevel1.target is a link to rescue.target I think the command is systemctl isolate rescue.target (or runlevel1.target if you prefer) On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Frank Cox wrote: > On Sun, 23 Nov 2014 12:02:17 -0800 > Edward M wrote: > > > Centos 7 runs systemd > > This actually bring up an interesting question that I've not yet seen an > answer to: > > What is the equivalent of runlevel 1 on Centos 7 and how do you get there? > > -- > MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Centos 7 doesn't use runlevels set in inittab like previous versions did. I see that fact is actually noted in /etc/inittab, along with the expected way to do it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] CentOs 7.0 and reboot failure
Everyone, I have installed Centos 7.0 on my homework machine in order to take a test drive with it, and am low on the learning curve with it at this point. I have a small Gateway SX2855-UB12P. I have a critical hurdle in that when I try a reboot or when I do a 'shutdown now -r' command the system will start a reboot process but hangs right after the os choices are presented. My install process started with the server version, and I added the gnome desktop latter. I also changed the boot level to 5. Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions as to a remedy. Thanks, Greg Ennis I failed to mention that I can reboot it by powering it down (no need to remove the plug) by pressing and holding the power button which turns everything off, and then hitting the power button again. After this it will boot. Obviously this makes testing this machine remotely impossible. Greg ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
