nanomodx1 demoboard ubuntu 9.10 server version.

    I installed Ubuntu Server alternate version 9.10 without any problem on a Sata HD with the demoboard. I ignored the problem with the us15w graphic chip. We want to use the system as a server.


    The systems runs fine until I try to restart with
    sudo shutdown -r now
    The system hangs with the message "[79.529961] Restarting system."


    "sudo shutdown -h now" or "sudo halt" works.


    Is there any suggestions how I could enable this on the Board? The message log file doesn't show relevant problems.


    Thanks in advance,

    It's a known problem. The reason is most Linux distributions are making a RESET via the historical PS/2 keyboard controller on port 60/64h. Because the nanoModX1 doesn't have a keyboard controller this RESET sequence is not working. It needs a recompilation of the kernel with the parameter reboot=pci instead the default reboot=kbd.

    I didn't recompile the kernel. I added "reboot=pci" to the cmdline.


    sudo vi /etc/default/grub


    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="reboot=pci quiet splash"


    sudo update-grub


    It works. Thanks for the description.
