Just updated to 7 a couple days ago and a few minutes ago went to reboot my server to update the nvidia driver and it immediately shut down instead.  Once I got it rebooted I tried another reboot and same thing.

Do you have a current backup of flash?

Just made a new one today.

Sounds like a hardware problem, but you could try booting in SAFE mode.

It didn't do this until I updated to 7. Worked perfectly fine on 6.2.15.

I assume this is a typo. What version were you using before 7?

Meant 6.12.15.

 

Got rebooted into safe mode and rebooting from safe mode it properly shuts down and reboots. Had some things in the syslinux configuration when I was troubleshooting issues with my nvme cache drive last month that I didn't remove after replacing the drive. Went back to default config and trying that out now.

 

and that wasn't the issue.

Not entirely clear. Does the problem go away in SAFE mode?

Yes. I click for it to reboot and it actually takes the time to stop the array and properly perform a reboot.

If it works in SAFE mode then that would suggest some plugin is to blame.

I'm working through that troubleshooting now.

Update: Definitely a plugin causing the issue. Just mass uninstalled all but a few plugins thst I require for my server setup and the server reboots normally. Will update when I find the specific plugin that was the problem.

I'm at a loss to what exactly was wrong. Just reinstalled all the plugins I had previously and the immediate shutdown on reboot issue did not return. Corrupted plugin I'm guessing. All I know is the issue is fixed.
