Endeavouros did not reboot or shutdown (watchdog0 did not restart - SP5000 TCO)r

[egounix]

Hello everybody,

Here is the issue while rebooting:

i m facing a weird issue. The last row that appears is that the system has umounted all the filesystems and swap saying “Rebooting”… i don’t get out of there, systems doesn’t reboot or shutdown.

I didn’t run endeavouros per months. I did update yesterday, had to chroot to repair grub, also fixed a not synching pacman issue, and never faced an issue like this.

I have followed this advice: New install with new Radeon 7800XT, PC won't shutdown fully or restart - #4 by ricklinux and blacklisted the SP5000 but didn’t work.

My config is a b550 itx asus, 5800x3d and a 6900xt. I did update the bios with the last one like 1 month ago, and i disabled the ftpm option that gave me stutter in many games.

To another disk there is windows 10 installed.

I did a fresh install of endeavouros - i dunno why, sorry i m stupid i just wanted to try to get rid of it - and… same damnd issue.
Previously i used endeavouros for like 1 year, updating the system and not getting any issue.

Did anyone else faced the same issue lastly?

Thx in advance

Did anyone else faced the same issue lastly?

Here is a thread where two other users report having similar issue.

Stuck at "systemd rebooting"?

It started to happen since yesterday. When I try to reboot, a lot of cyan text goes rapidly up in the terminal, and they get cleared. And then a bunch of systemd message are printed, and with “rebooting” at the last line, the system gets stuck there. I have waited a lot, but it never rebooted. I used Timeshift to go back, and it removed this problem, but after updating the system, it happened again. I wonder if other people are experiencing this, too.

This is thread from Arch Forum.

The OP reports that disabling Bluetooth or downgrading the kernel one version back resloves the issue.

[egounix]

first of all thank you for the referring topics

i suspected was something related to the kernel, or something in the kernetl

yes i have I225-V buggy ethernet lan that doesn’t work well on windows 10, frequently disconnecting, and the ax200 wifi and bt… so i won the bingo of the bad things…

ok the good news that its is not something that is dying in my pc… i hate use windows, so at this point i have to downgrade the kernel

ohhh i ll try first to disable bt via bios

[yourgod]

It has this in my boot log. Disabling WiFi/BT did not solve the problem.

[pebcak]

How did you disable Bluetooth?

The post in Arch forums says you would need to disable it in the firmware settings.

[yourgod]

Nah, I disabled in the KDE’s menu. So, that’s probably why it still gets stuck.

[pebcak]

Probably.

If there is nowhere in the firmware settings you could disable the Bluetooth, see if blacklisting its module/driver at the kernel level would help.

Please refer to ArchWiki about how to blacklist a kernel module.

Can’t EndeavourOS allow choosing “LTS” kernel versions like Manjaro? I think there are too many kernel updates. It’s not that I want to update kernel, but it gets updated with other things every time. I guess some users like using the latest kernel as soon as it gets released, but from my experience, I usually get more troubles than benefits from frequent kernel updates.

[egounix]

i disabled BT and WIFI from the bios, didn’t work

so i re-enabled both

i tried to reinstall the kernel giving pacman -Syu linux and watchdog0 did not stop error, disappeared

and wifi started to work in linux… i didn’t notice that the wifi icon was missing in the bar

but still pc gets stuck when i try to reboot the system

other info: i m using ext4 for the /root partition, and btrfs (from previous install) in the home partition that i didn’t format

[pebcak]

You can have both installed, the latest stable and the latest LTS. No problem.

[egounix]

yes i remember with manjaro there was a kernel tool that allowed to you to choose the kernel that you wanted to keep, and you could also choose to install whatever version you wanted

[yourgod]

Seems like “Sleep” does not work either.

[pierrep56]

To install more kernel and to choose one at boot, just install (if not yet present) and run akm (Arch Kernel Manager) from the endeavouros repository.

[egounix]

thank you i v totally forgot that tool

[yourgod]

I had thought that a fix would be released very soon, since this is a serious bug, but it seemed it wouldn’t come fast and not being able to put the PC to sleep was too inconvenient, so I disabled BT using the following method. Now restart/sleep works fine.

Create file: sudo micro /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
content: 
blacklist bluetooth
blacklist btusb

@yourgod

but it seemed it wouldn’t come fast

Do you mean this? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218651#c14

[egounix]

tried the kernel lts but same at the reboot… i had to hard reset several times, and for the moment i decided to remove the disk with endeavouros

i m not sure it is the same bug that prevent my pc to reboot correctly, but for sure there is a bt and wifi issue

i also have a intel nuc with an old skylake i5, and endeavours with gnome runs fine

when i reboot the nuc i see the message from watchdog0 but it reboots fast

i didn’t update yet my 2 thinkpads (x230 and x270), where i have endeavouros with gnome… soon or later i must update them and hope they will run well

[gadolf]

If I understood this, the bug has been fixed on kernel v6.8.3.

Today I updated the system and now it is on 6.8.4-arch1-1.

However, the issue still remains on my side.

After updating and rebooting, I rebooted three more times. The first two were nominal, but the third freeze.

Can you help me debug this? What commands should I run to get more info?
