Hello, My F16 system seems to have gotten to a very strange state. It's a Dell laptop. It started when I have the laptop unplugged, and I closed the lid. Usually this makes it goes to sleep (i.e. suspend to RAM). This time, it didn't seem so; the fan started to run in high speed, and after a while I re- opened the lid and tried to wake up the machine without success. It was unresponsive. I then decided to hard-kill it by pressing the power button for several seconds. This is where the strangeness started. I was able to boot it back, but then it keeps rebooting after the boot process is done. It would get to the state where I need to log in, and within several second, it would reboot itself. This happens over and over. I tried running it in single mode, it stills rebooting itself. "emergency" mode stopped it from this reboot cycle, but as soon as I changed runlevel with systemctl, it would reboot after it finishes loading the new runlevel. I tried running linux rescue with F16 boot disk, chroot to the installation root, updated the system, and reboot. And this continuous rebooting happens again. I even tried "upgrading" the system from F16 book disk (so, upgrade to itself). And that doesn't solve the issue either. I am running out of ideas. The only thing left is to completely re-install, and I don't really want to do that right now as I have lots of stuff there already. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
