I'm running 5.0.4 SCO on a new Abit ATX motherboard.
If i shutdown with a reboot option it stops after the shutdown , but won't reboot the system. Any ideas?
 
What reboot option? /etc/default/boot autoboot=YES? TIMEOUT=?

Did you check your vfstab and do you have any corrupted files in your system?
 
Have only 5.0.5 as test system. Requires shutdown with -i6 option and modification to /etc/inittab for is:2:initstate.

There is a command called reboot

/etc/reboot

Is that what you are using ?

Danny,
he is using shutdown -i6 which is an initstate for rebooting. the reboot command has some issues with a clean shutdown which is the reason for not using it. Ed Fair

Doesn't apply to his system as far as I could tell.
I used the same syntax on my 5.0.5 system and hung up the same way he did. It was basically not telling the system what to do after doing an init6. I don't have a 5.0.4 available to see if it works the same as 5.0.5 so I don;t know if he is fixed. However I haven't seen anything else here and no further email since I sent the last change.
