Bug Description

After installing Feisty Herd 1 on Intel motherboard model DG965MQ, the system hangs with the following message:

  Sending SIGKILL to all processes.
  Please stand by while rebooting the system.
  [ 738.482933] Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda:
  [ 738.574272] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:19.0 disabled
  [ 738.590695] Restarting system.

I have tried reinstalling several times and the above problem happens consistently. I have tried installing on other systems and rebooting works.

Could you attach the output of dmidecode? Does using the kernel argument 'reboot=b' make it work properly?

Marc, can you reverify this with Herd5? It somehow got lost in the bug list, so I sub'd hardware-escalation.

Thanks for catching this bug. I have tested both alternate and desktop media for the 20070319.1 daily release and the problem does not occur:

1. Reboot from installation proceeds as expected
2. Shutdown from installed system shuts down the machine
3. Reboot from installed system reboots the machine

By the way, I did not need to specify any custom kernel parameters.
