Not being familiar with that machine, I assume its a dual processor (or core 2)?
Thanks for the hint. I see that we have Precision 490 with two different CPUs: Hangs at reboot: dual core: Model: 6.15.11 "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz" GOOD: quad core: Model: 15.6.4 "Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz"
This does happen in dual processor machines (has happened for a long time) because one processor can't be sure the other processor is done.
ACPI was supposed to fix this, but I've seen this in certain rare occasions on modern core 2 machines. Also seen it under ubuntu.
The boot command line parameter "acpi=force" might work. Seems to work with ubuntu.
You might also check that the machines have the latest bios.
I tried it with "acpi=force". Did not help. The dual core systems hang at boot. The latest BIOS is already applied. Bye, Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
