reboot issue, hangs

[lestat70]

Did you solve the problem?

thanks

Not yet.  It does it regardless of OS.   ATM I'm running Armbian 5.7 (Debian Stretch base) as a container server and any reboot command hangs the board and I have to unplug power and replug for it to power up again.

TBH I haven't put much effort into solving the problem primarily because I rarely need/want to reboot it and if I use shutdown (instead of reboot) I can power it back up via the power button no problem.

It's certainly a strange problem.

Thank you very much for your answer, I do not usually restart the sbc but it is annoying that when I want to do it, first I have to turn it off and then go physically to turn it on. If I'm not at home, that's a problem

I'm using the newest ayufan ubuntu minimal as well. I see what you guys are saying ...

Code:

sudo systemctl reboot

appears to 'hang up' for me too. Bbut for some reason this appears to be shutting down the board completely, similar to

Code:

sudo shutdown now

Then I have to hard restart with the buttons or unplug/ plug in power supply. To be fair, I'm not well versed in all of the flavors of restarting from the command line, but for me

Code:

sudo shutdown -r now

works, as does

Code:

sudo reboot

So I'd be curious if either of those commands work for you guys also. Might save you from doing any of the bash configuration stuff that has been mentioned.

The same thing happens to me, the problem is that the board does not restart.

You can turn it off with the shutdown command and then turn it on physically with the button

I have tried the solution that appears in this thread, but it does not work for me, the board does not restart, it does not get to be completely turned off since I can hear how the discs keep turning.
