No reboot after core update

[steph78630 (Steph)]

Hello,

For several months (and therefore several updates), I have been facing a restart problem following new updates on one of my firewalls:

I trigger a stable update from the GUI, and when I reboot to apply it I have the following messages but no reboot:

…
Bringing down the loopback interface…
Remount root readonly…
Prepare for reboot…
_

…then nothing !

I have to go there, physically turn off and restart the firewall

Which is problematic because the firewall is remote and the client no longer has access to the Internet until the firewall restarts.

Usually this is a bios/uEFI problem.

You can try to switch the reset method via kernel commandline

Ipfire not rebooting

I have strange behavior on a firewall, J1900 with 4GB ram, guardian and wio configuration R, G, O, B with core 168 I have a reboot schedule at 1am every day. Sometimes the firewall does not restart. I understand this from the graphs and from the fact that I have to restart it by hand. Is there any way from the logs to tell if something hangs in the reboot phase? Giuseppe

or update the bios/uEFI firmware.

Hello @arne_f ,

I just added reboot=b in /etc/default/grub and regenerate the grub config as shown.

I’ll let you know when I’ve done the last stable update and rebooted (in my case CU 173 to 174) !

Thanks you very much !

Hi @arne_f

after updating my firewall (CU 173 to 174 stable), reboot still doesn’t work

Then :
Replaced reboot=b with reboot=k
grub regeneration
Changing CU version in /opt/pakfire/db/core/mine (172)
pakfire upgrade then reboot…

It works, IPFire restarts perfectly !

It fixed, thanks again !

Hi,

after CU 175 update by the standard method (Pakfire > update…), IPFire always restarts well, happiness ! Problem solved for me !

Thanks @arne_f !
