Description Brian Rockwell 2016-07-21 22:42:10 CEST

Description of problem:  System keeps rebooting over and over when I let grub2 pick the normal MAGEIA 6 start-up.  It does work when I pick one of the debug options


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): MGA6 x64 is this example, but did it on both i586 and x64

Hardware:
âTrinity [Radeon HD 7480D]
AMD A4-4000 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
AR2417 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5007G 802.11bg]
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller



How reproducible:  install OS - reboot, enjoy the reboots


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Reboot - let grub2 pick default option or pick standard option
2.  System begins working and before it gets to first screen, monitor blanks and reboots
3.  Repeat

Look at the log after 15:22.  You see it reboot in the log I think and then I choose the next option and log in.  Able to capture the journal after the log in.

I see that you rebooted and that you started failsafe, but I cannot see any of those repeated reboots when selecting a normal grub2 entry.

However, maybe I'm just missing it. Assigning to barjac, in the hope he'll see what I don't, even if I don't think it is a grub2 bug.

Comment 3 Barry Jackson 2017-03-17 17:41:56 CET

Is this still valid?

I looked through the log and the only odd thing that I see is:
grub2-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.

Do you have btrfs or raid array?

No - I don't think this is valid any longer.  Whatever it was got resolved.

Close it.
