reboot hanging
 

I use Ubuntu 5.04
Pentium II Compaq

Problem:
I choose to reboot, it closes all stuff and the last line I see on my screen is "Rebooting..." then it turns off monitor and hangs. (keyboard is also off)

hi there

does it go well with shutdown??

almost, power light starts to blinking but computer is off
BTW no problems when I restart or shut down on Windows

i just saw somewhere
that the problem might be due to some USB devices
do u have some??

try rebooting after removing them

regards

no, I don't have any usb devices

if the power led is blinking and you restart the machine (by tapping the power button) does the desktop load faster than normal?

No, it loads like normal. I think you meant that computer is in hybernate, then no. Led is just blinking, computer is completely off.

have you checked the bios settings for apm/apci ?it still sounds as if it's entering a stand-by state.if this is the case,it will appear to be off (no fans,drive access...etc.) but the ram will still have power to avoid data loss.

apm/apci?
I passed an option to boot with noapci but it didn't work,
Maybe it is really stand-by but it's strange, keyboard is off. (How to get back?) How do I make sure its on stand-by?

BTW BIOS should be ok, because in Windows i have no problems.

I updated my kernel to 2.6.10-5-386 and my shut down problem is gone but reboot problem remains.

My system does that too.
It shuts down perfectly, but flips off the monitor and keyboard on a reboot.
Its a Toshiba A70-RX1 notebook.
