I've found that Centos doesn't support the ATI RS480 chipset very well and that is causing the reboot issues. With too many things (DAG, jpackage, etc) not available for FC5, I've just decided to run FC4. The initial release has the same problems as Centos, but more recent kernels fix those issues.
I guess the only other thing that I could have tried would have been to recompile that kernel for Centos, but that was just too much to do...

I recently bought a new Compaq Presario sr1710nx with 64-bit Sempron and last week installed Centos 4.3 64-bit on it.
Worked like a champ until I attempted a reboot (using "init 6") and the computer hung after finishing the shutdown. Rebooting from cold worked, but without a warm reboot I was hesitant to use Centos. Since FC5 (64-bit as well) came out recently, I tried it and warm reboots work great.
So it would seem that it is a kernel/driver issue, but I have no idea where to begin. Also I'm not if additional grub boot parameters might help.
I won't be in front of the machine until this weekend, but since everyone else will be gone by them, I'd thought I'd ask you guys if you had any ideas. I really would like to get back the package stability of Centos. Fedora 5's updates are driving me nuts (too many, too often and too major).
Any suggestions? (I'm going to try 32-bit Centos this weekend first)
