I am testing 5.2.1 in preperation for moving production servers eventually from 4.6 to 5.x. Most of the issues I have figured out, but there is one that I cannot get to work - shutdown -r now. Rebooting dies consistently. With the GENERIC kernel I get the message: Rebooting... Keyboard reset did not work, attempting CPU shutdown In NOTES is a dexcription of BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET so I added that and rebuilt the kernel. Now all I get is the Rebooting... line and nothing more. Granted the system I am using for testing is not at all like the production hardware, but rebooting worked fine on 4.6 with this system. I am very reluctant to convert any production systems unless I can be sure they can successfully be rebooted without having a person on-site. These machines are all unattended and quite far away. Is there a workaround for this issue? -- Doug
