Joe,
which kernel do you use ?
I'm using the released version - 2.6.5-1.358
When I read the subject line, the problem with the older 2.6 kernel came to my mind, where the kernel sent a standby signal to the harddrives and some harddrives interpreted this as shutdown. When rebooting the BIOS didn't spin up the drives and the system didn't boot. This might be unrelated - just my 2 eurocents ;-)
I forgot to mention that if I do a ctl-alt-del at the point where it hangs, it will reboot successfully. Normally I'd simply ignore this but I'm planning a very large deployment in a remote location so I can't tolerate this behavior.
Also, if I configure the system with a single CPU and disable hyperthreading, it reboots just fine with a soft reboot. If I add a second CPU or enable hyperthreading, it fails on reboot.
Cheers, Hannes.
Thanks, Joe
