    How to restart linux correctly.



    Hi,

    I am writing a kernel driver for a special device. In such situation I have to write message to syslog printk(KERN_ERR ... and do a correct restart of the system.
    I tried kernel_restart(NULL) but it does immediate unconditional restart - message is lost.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanx for help.

    Use a timeout before restart.

    You can use utime and maybe if the error is not critical, schedule_timeout.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    I solved my problem by sending request to user space. And there can be run "reboot" command.

    Thanks.
