Thinkcemtre M93P reboots infinitely
by RandomTroll from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FZT4)
After installing a new kernel last week my computer stopped displaying anything on reboot until sometime along the Linux boot process, at a point the display mode changed, I think. This made it impossible to see the POST or the BIOS setup. I did the CMOS reset process described in the manual: switch the jumper from 1-2 to 2-3, turn on for 10 seconds, then off for 5, then switch the jumper back. The jumper is clearly labeled.
This made the BIOS setup come on, then automatically reboot. After that the computer does nothing but re-boot infinitely, not even display a screen; the fans spin up for a few seconds. I disconnected the drive, plugged in a boot flashdrive, but the same still happens: no display, no loading of an OS, the capslock switch doesn't toggle its LED.
I can't see anything wrong, get no beeps. I'm using the same keyboard and display I'm using now, so those work.
