reboot hanging

d4rksh4de · 06-24-2005, 03:35 PM

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??

d4rksh4de · 06-24-2005, 04:05 PM

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

d4rksh4de · 06-25-2005, 04:15 PM

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.
