Fit-2 won't reboot with Ubuntu 9.04

Post by brebey »

I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Fit-2, and the "reboot" command won't reboot the machine. It goes through the shut-down sequence just fine, but when it actually comes time to do the hardware reboot, it won't do it - the machine just hangs saying "restarting now".

Also, the soft power switch doesn't work. If I hold the switch for 5 seconds, the unit powers off, but the orderly shut-down that ones gets with a properly functioning soft switch is required.

Am I missing a driver or what? I need the "reboot" command and the power switch to work correctly.

Thanks for any help!

See the "reboot=b" tip given by Kleborp here :
http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 01&start=0

1) Open menu.lst :

Code: Select all

$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Find the ligne "# defoptions=quiet splash" in order to add the smart option (keep the line commented out) :

Code: Select all

# defoptions=quiet splash reboot=b
2) Save and close gedit and type :

Code: Select all

$ sudo update-grub
3) And eventually :

Code: Select all

$ sudo halt
==> Next reboot will be ok
