Reboot failures

[Jonno]

I'm on
CentOS 6.3 (Final)
Panel version 11.0.9 Update #15
1&1 dedicated server.

I have migrated some data from an old server, set up SSL certs, pretty much ready to go except...

If I reboot from Plesk or command line the server fails to restart.

I can reboot using the 1&1 recovery tool to 'reboot the normal system'. That always works.

What does the recovery tool do differently?

Any suggestions?

What do you mean exactly "server fails to restart"? How this issue can be reproduced?

It shuts down, ceases to be running, becomes bereft of life, it rests in peace, behaves in much the same fashion as a dead parrot.

The 1&1 recovery tool then boots the machine as normal, awakens the beast, breathes life into the thing, causes it to be on.

I have since found that this is probably related to the Watchdog 2.03 issue, the problem does not occur when Watchdog is disabled.
