Debian :: System Hangs While Rebooting On Debain
Mar 26, 2010
I have Debian (Kernel 2.6.26-2-686) installed on two computers. On one of them it reboots quite finely but I am having following problem with rebooting Debian on my second computer.When i type reboot at the linux prompt, following messages appear and system hangs up after saying "Restarting System":
The difference that I noted between my two computers is that I don't have ACPI support in the BIOS of the system which is giving me this error whereas the BIOS of my first computer do have ACPI support on which Debain do not give this Restart hanging problem.I have also disabled running the acpid script by running Code: update-rc.d -f acpid remove.

I am running Debian Squeeze on an Intel DH55TC motherboard. When I issue a shutdown command
shutdown -h now
The system goes shutting down. Eveything looks fine, and the main console shows all process being stopped. In the end it says "System will now halt". Then a few seconds later, it restarts. It is unclear what is causing this, because nothing is written to the screen. It just goes blank and starts rebooting. Looking afterwards in syslog doesn't show anything also.

I'm running Debian Squeeze on a Dell Studio Laptop, and this morning my computer woke up and gnome was randomly frozen. I dismissed this as a random error and proceeded to hard-reboot the computer. It now will not boot at all. After multiple attempts, every time the boot process hangs on "Starting GNOME display manager gdm3." I even left it there for 2 hours while I was gone to see if it would get past the hang. It did not, and was still stopped at that same line when I got back. get my system back. I have a live CD available to perform maintenance if anyone has an idea of what's wrong.

I have Lenovo Y500 laptop with 2 Nvidia GT650M.
Today I've installed fresh Debian 8.2 from netinstall.
Then I installed nvidia driver with #sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver nvidia-xconfig
Then I rebooted the system.
When the system turned on I executed #sudo nvidia-xconfig to create Xorg.conf
Then #startx
After startx the screen becomes black, coolers on the video cards start to work faster and the system shuts down.

Since i installed fedora 12 i cannot successfully shutdown or reboot my pc as was possible with fedora 11: i already tried with no luck with desktop button, the commands 'poweroff', the 'shutdown -h now' and the 'reboot' but the system go to the bliking cursor and hangs without powering off (and reboot while requested). And i have to hard poweroff the system... (GRRRR)If i go on the console I can only see the system terminating services and saying "halting system" and then hangs...
Now i have kenel 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686.PAE, but this problem happened with last 5 preceeding.I use the mjm installation guide since fedora 7 (or later) and i had the following HW (lspci).

My fedora 14 is upgraded from fedora 13, which was upgraded from fedora 12. Everything seems fine, but recently I met across a very strange thing.Fedora 14 shutdown properly, but it won't reboot. It will hang at the last step(I guess that is the last step: [*****.*****] Restarting system.The picture of the last steps before it hangs is attached. Please someone give me a hint how to diagnose it ?

Can I add memory to the Linux box without rebooting the system? I think Linux check the hardware at booting time. But if I need to add more memory to the server while I do not want to stop the service. Is there some method to make Linux use the new added memories?

I downloaded debain 5.0 on a computer and like a dummy I did not write down what I was using for passwords. There was a icon on the left hand bottom corner that I hit on the log in page that took me to a gray blueish screen where there is an "X" in the middle of screen that I can move with my mouse. no matter how many times I reboot I get this screen How do I get back to log-in page or do I start over and re- install?

I have NFS fileserver that has served me well for more than year. But recently I noticed that it has started to reboot on its own very frequently, almost once a day! It is most likely not a power related issue as I tried changing UPS/power sources, but no help!So my question is:Is there any log file where I can check which is causing the reboot? There may not be a single logfile, but I need some point to start the investigation!

since upgrade to suse 11.3 every time I reboot pc the file /etc/hosts is reset to default value. I am a web developer so I need to put in there my aliases for 127.0.0.1. It is annoying to do it again and again. Luckily, I don't restart my system very often but still I would like to avoid that.What should I do to stop this resetting? Or is there another place in 11.3 where should I put my entries?

I have noticed that ubuntu 9.10 (but also other distro and in general those that configure the network automatically at startup) crashed if my pc boot directly with a linux kernel at power on.This does not happen if the first boot is done with windows xp and then rebooting the pc and choosing the same linux kernel.Some distro (for example SysrescueCD) that does not configure the network at startup can work but also with these if I try to configure the network using the command ifconfig eth0 the system crashes.My network card is a SiS191 Ethernet and linux recognized it using sis190 module.I suppose that something happen during the first power on, some inizialization done with windows xp but does not done with linux in fact after a reboot made from windows xp without shutdown the pc, with Linux I can configure the network using ifconfig without crash.
Any ideas to solve this without have to boot always windows as first?

I'm trying to come up with a startup init script that will check to see if the system was shut down gracefully, or if it is rebooting from a poweroff or something similar?Anyone know of a way to check for this condition with the least amount of room for false positives or vice versa?My intial thought is just a startup script that will will check for a file on startup, and on a proper reboot/shutdown just touch the file. But id like to avoid that type of script if possible,

I have a question regarding the /proc/interrupts file. Let's say for example I had a server with 2xQuad-Core processors (so we have CPU0 to CPU7 ), and with 5 network interfaces. SMP affinity to all 5 interfaces was set to "ff", so all interfaces have done interrupts on all the processors. he network interfaces interrupts counters should look like this:
24: 32650776 32670506 50315017 32677739 32672119 32677935 32656299 32667496 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth2
27: 35233448 35285546 35317201 52657622 35315835 35339998 35221092 35246597 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth3
55: 37573056 35870363 35874607 35858010 37728061 35880275 35882340 35882127 PCI-MSI-edge eth1
56: 35861392 35863516 35865123 35865342 35864604 40515822 35861250 35863585 PCI-MSI-edge eth0
58: 30173318 30109146 30002990 30016870 30084937 30034759 46517278 30139103 PCI-MSI-edge eth4
Now let's say I've set the affinity to each of the network interfaces, so that it balances one per processor, so we have 5 processors working only for the network interfaces each processor with it's own eth. Now let's assume that the network interfaces generate very few interrupts, and that they show up every 5-6 seconds, so watching cat /proc/interrupts doesn't exactly underline the modifications unless you look with a ruler. Is there a way to reset the counters on /proc/interrupts so that they all start at 0, without rebooting the system?

I'm using Gnome and I'd like to still have the ability to reboot/shutdown from one particular account as well as root. How would I modify the chmod command to add this ability?Also, I have a few users who just will hold the power button in to shutdown the machine. How can I keep them from doing this?// Pruned from the vintage 2007 Prevent a non-root user from shutting down, rebooting or suspend the system thread.

I have a rented vserver running at Strato [URL]. It came preinstalled with Debian 7. I upgraded it to Debian 8, what seemed to run fine, all services running. The problems came up when I tried to reboot the server to test the init system. It just does not come up, I cannot ping it, nothing. I can boot into the rescue system, mount the system partitions and chroot in to the filesystem. In this state I also can run my services, including apache2 and mysql. In the syslog I find nothing about the reboot. Now I need to reboot ino the normal system. I already tried to resume to sysvinit without success.

I recently pulled out my old computer and decided I would install linux on it so I could get online. The specs aren't the greatest (Pentium II processor, 94 MB RAM, and an 8 GB HDD). I chose AntiX 8.0 as my OS. Anyways, I got through the installation just fine, but when it said "Try rebooting your computer without the CD"...So I did, and what happened? I got that error. I've tried rebooting with different Live CDs to no avail. Is there anything I can do to get back up and running?

I have Mythbuntu 10.04 installed on an exclusive HTPC and working great... until tonight. After letting the system update some packages (161 packages if I remember right), I suddenly have an issue where the graphical system won't start. After researching I found three error messages that might be causing that.
1. At the start of splash screen I see "UUID=xxxxxxxCD7 not ready yet or not present" I checked in /etc/fstab and found that this is the swap partition. I don't remember seeing this before so this could be the culprit.
2. I'm not at the computer in question right now but I saw a Plymouth error about "mountall" and then the message "plymouth command failed". Not sure if this could be the main error.
3. after a while (usually ca. 1-2 min) I receive thousands of errors of the kind "out of memory"... "kill process XXXX" (process vary wildly e.g. dbus-daemon, mysql, etc)... "process killed"..."respawning"
After error 3, I'm not able to switch to graphical console (ctrl-alt-F7). If I was in the graphical console at this moment, I simply can't switch to the CLI console. I'm always afraid of updating my system since I've seen lots of things breaking afterwards (usually the proprietary graphic drivers) but this is really strange.

I've got Asus M4AT78T-E motherboard, and so far, I was using 2x1GB of Corsair 1333 Mhz RAM. I decided to change it for 1x2GB OCZ 1600Mhz CL7 memory.
I removed current modules, and installed new one into red colored (they recommend it in user manual) slots. After start, computer hangs at random time, I mean, it could be when Grub loads (while going to select memtest), or even while POST test. (After detecting some SATA device).
Is it possible to run that memory on my computer? Is memory corrupted? I have possibility to use it on another system, but it will be about in next 2-3 weeks, and I'd like to have it here.

I have installed Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 "Lenny" on a Compaq 510 laptop.
The problem am experiencing is that when I start it, it takes about 3 - 4 reboots before I get it to work without an automatic reboot.
I checked the dmesg command and the last part indicates the following:
I don't know what to do so as to enable the PCI interrupt that is should not reboot after a cold boot.

I was playing with my debian server when something went totally wrong while i was editing something on my network interface,i removed those crap that i wrote and left the network interface configuration as it was
Like for example after re-editing my network interface,it was like :
As i did a network restart, i get this error saying :
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 2802 killed old client process, removed PID file.
What is this error and how can i fix it,because every time im re booting my server i lost my network config.

I booted up the computer (Fedora 11) and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited for quite sometime without any change to the system I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.
When the sytem reboots and I press alt+ctrl+2 i see messages like below on the black screen:Unknown username "root" in message bus configuration file.Could not get password database....Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"..Please help me get the system up. I saved some data and did not take a backup. Is there's a way I can restore my system to a previous date? Or backup my data somehow?
