It should printout the "Rebooting in timeout_wait seconds ..." Then it should wait timeout_wait number of seconds, as usual, and *then* call the hypervisor. > simply because it calls into the hypervisor (or whatever). The hypervisor is not supposed to return at this point. Its supposed to reboot. Appearently, its not rebooting. Either we are using it wrong, or the hypervisor is buggy on some systems. It did work on the machines I was on; but I did not try power5's or blades. > So, please restore the panic_timeout check. The problem with this check was that was that the value was never ever set, and so the branch was never ever taken. --linas _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
