rebooting ...<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi All,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>This is my first post ... I *HAD* been trying to get RHEL AS 4 onto this
Dell PE 6400/700, but it just wouldn't go without some weird tweaking.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I am VERY happy to say that CentOS 4.4 installed without a hitch!
NICELY done folks!</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>The only real issue for me is that the machine fails to reboot or shutdown
correctly.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>It requires physical interaction with the power switch, which certainly
limits remote, headless administration!</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>A reboot (or shutdown -r now) follows through to " ", but the machine never
restarts - it appears to freeze (num-lock works, key-caps does not and
Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing) - I have to press and hold the power button to force
a restart.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I get similar results with telinit 6 (or init 6).</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>A shutdown works ever so slightly better, it gets to the " ", and does not
power off the machine, a simple press of the power button does power it
off.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Does ANYONE have ANY ideas?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>OR point me in some direction?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Dell support is useless for an unsupported OS.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Machine info:</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Dell PowerEdge 6400 quad Xenon 700Mhz CPUs, a Dell PERC/2 card (w/two RAID
5 containers), an Intel GB net card, and 2GB RAM.</DIV>
