Hello,
My F16 system seems to have gotten to a very strange state.

This is where the strangeness started. I was able to boot it back, but then it
keeps rebooting after the boot process is done. It would get to the state
where I need to log in, and within several second, it would reboot itself.
This happens over and over.

Just for the record: I hit the same issue again just now, with a clean reinstall of Fedora 16. It seem that I've hit an old bug 575417. I've tried all the suggestions in this thread (including reloading the BIOS default and re-creating initramfs) and none of them work. Using the same workaround there (blacklisting iTCO_wdt) seems to resolve the issue. I'll see if I can re-open the bug.

Best
