I installed Fedora 13 on a Gateway E2000 and have found that restart/reboot freezes, but a shutdown does a full power down correctly.
By default goes to the graphical screen, the same for both, but with shutdown, it says shutting down and then powers off. The restart shows the restarting message, but then stops responding. No keyboard lights change, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, nothing. Only a forced power off gets the machine going.
Tried it from a terminal window same results. Tried reboot -f same results. Even loaded busybox and used busybox reboot -f
Don't see anything in the log files...
It doesn't come up with an error on the reboot, so it seems to be shutting down correctly, but just not doing the final reboot process.
Try the suggestions at:
