Continuous Restart After Fresh Install
« on: June 19, 2013, 03:29:04 AM »
Hello,

I just completed a new install of sme server 8,0. The install went smoothly and I encountered no errors in the process.

However, after installing and rebooting, my new server does not complete the boot process- it simply restarts over and over.

I previously had another linux system installed on this system, so I don't suspect it's a hardware issue.

I'm not terribly knowledgeable of the boot process, can anyone recommend how best to troubleshoot this issue?

Anything which doesn't work correctly should be reported via the bug tracker.
