Hi all,

Sorry for the wide distribution, but I've got a rather curious problem.

I'm trying to get a Snowball V11 PDK working in the validation lab, and the only way to get it to boot on power-on is to power it over USB and control the power through a USB power adaptor. While this works admirably, the problem is that when I try to soft-reboot I get the usual:

Broadcast message from root@master
(/dev/ttyAMA2) at 15:48 ...

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
 * Asking all remaining processes to terminate...                        [ OK ] 
 * All processes ended within 1 seconds....                              [ OK ] 
 * Deconfiguring network interfaces...                                   [ OK ] 
 * Deactivating swap...                                                  [ OK ] 
umount: /run/lock: not mounted
 * Will now restart
[ 1279.346801] Restarting system.


and then nothing. It just hangs and never comes back until I power cycle it.

BTW: Sometimes I get the whole of the "Restarting system" message, sometimes just half of it.

Has anybody any idea why this might be the case and, if so, what I can do about it?

Thanks

Dave
