I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

I think it started to happen after upgrading to kernel 5.15. I am using the package "linux-lts" on a Dell Inspirion 7459. I started using the "linux-lts" package because I encountered this same problem when using the "linux" package, and now that the "linux-lts" package has been updated to version 5.15... same problem...

When I restart the computer, it shuts down, but when it back on, the Dell logo displays quickly, less time than normal, then the screen goes black and does nothing else. If I turn off the computer and then press the power button to turn it on, no problem, everything works fine.

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

What happens when running

  $  sudo shutdown -r 0
?

A similar looking problem:

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

Thanks @i_write_LISP_code_in_vim

Logged as root, without start graphical session (alt+f2), and executing:

$  shutdown -r 0

Same result...

Yeah, the issue is similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/423801/ … a-x10slm-f but in this case the PC try to restart, I can see the Dell logo but after this does nothing else. I don't know what to try.

reboot=bios, acpi, kbd, triple, efi, or pci - try "reboot=pci" or "reboot=bios", https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

Same here. I also use LTS kernel.
By the way reboot stopped working even while issued by another Linux distro installed alongside Arch in another partition...
I even tried with no luck to perform reboot after booting from a pretty old Clonezilla USB key I used for backup.
Honestly I have no clue.

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

Recent BIOS update?
Some hibernating OS?
An update of the arch kernel shold rather not impact other boots and a complete power down (ie. booting the other systems cold) should also prevent the acpi command from the arch reboot to have any residual impact.
And the OP seems to have been able to reboot from the 5.10 kernels after a failure of the 5.15 one.

Regardless, see the reboot kernel parameter (post #4)

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

Recent BIOS update?
No, last update June 2021.

Some hibernating OS?
Now I have a Windows 11 with fastboot and hibernation disabled, before I had a Windows 10 with fastboot and hibernation disabled (when I downgrade kernel from 5.15 to LTS 5.10 for reboot to work).

As additional information I am using systemd-boot.

Thanks @seth.

Re: I can shutdown and boot the system but I can't reboot

try "reboot=pci" or "reboot=bios"]

Thanks Seth, solved here by adding "reboot=pci" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub followed by a grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
It worked also in my other OS in dual boot (Clear Linux).
