Hi,
I've installed Centos 6.2 x86_64 on a DELL E6520 and nearly everything works just fine. The only problem is that the system hangs after entering "reboot". I can see that several services get stopped, but after some seconds the screen is just black and nothing happens anymore. The weird thing is that "poweroff" always works just fine. Also, I should note that I'm using the NVIDIA binary graphics driver and have disabled the "Optimus" feature in the BIOS. The problem with "reboot" happens regardless if the NIVIDA driver is installed or not. Any ideas?
Best regards, Bernd

Does it hang after the shutdown process is totally complete, or somewhere in between? (If so, what is the last thing you see on screen?) How long have you waited for it to proceed?
How much RAM? On startup it will be checking the RAM, and possible other things, and I think this happens right at the beginning of startup sequence.

After pressing ESC to see all the service shutdown messages the last two lines show:
init: Re-executing /sbin/init [OK] Please stand by while rebooting the system... Restarting system.
So it hangs after shutdown has been completed. I've waited more than 10 minutes.
How much RAM? On startup it will be checking the RAM, and possible other things, and I think this happens right at the beginning of startup sequence.
The system has 8GB RAM.
Best regards, Bernd.

<snip> Sounds to me as though something's hanging - maybe it's trying to restart something, and it's not letting go.
A thought: check the BIOS, and see if there's something that says something like "restart after reboot".

Thanks Fabian. The kernel parameter "reboot=pci" that is mentioned in the Bugzilla entries solves the issue for me.
Best regards, Bernd.

I had this exact same issue on a server based on the Sandy Bridge chipset.
