"shutdown -r now" just sits at the "Restarting System." message...

Hi Guys,

I added another Arch Linux server to my LAN at the weekend and all is well apart from the fact I can't reboot the box from the shell, (I don't use X/Desktop, just the shell)

As indicated in the title, "shutdown -r now" just sits at the "Restarting System." message and does not reboot.

I've not encountered this on my other Arch boxes.

The box in question is a an old P4 2.4Ghz with 1GB RAM, running on a Gigabyte branded motherboard and Arch was installed using the i686 Core distribution iso which I then updated after install using "pacman -Syu"

I've tried switching the BIOS power management from S3 to S1 to no avail. Have also tried installing acpi/acpid in case it was required and still nothing.

Any ideas on this are gratefully received.

Thanks in advance for any help.
