An endless sleepy loop could be a > way out perhaps? Right, the loop is what used to be there. I kind of liked it but it requires a separation of the two cases: loader returning with error vs. s390 needing init to halt. If nobody has any real need for waiting at this point any longer, we could alternatively call performReboot for all cases of rebootAction, even for HALT. (See also https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-January/msg00317.html) Considering that David's patch has caused at least two follow-up fixes including one build break, I'd really like more people to look at the problem so we can come up together with a less intrusive fix.
