This might be an option to try but before going this far I would like first to know: 1) what is happening 2) why it is happening I have never had to recompile the standard kernel before after an install to get anything working!

RE: [expert] `shutdown -r now' fails to work
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. Bartek Muryn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alexander Volovics Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2000 1:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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
