Yeah, got a new server again. It is becoming a yearly ritual ;-) Of course something went wrong this time. I want to use IPtables as firewall (I do not use IPSconfig, but WebMin and VirtualMin). What is wrong with these rules? My server was not responding on pings anymore after reboot and IPtables was the problem previous reboot as well.. These rules are applied in this order. If needed I can show you what the exact IPtables config is after applying these, with GUI created, rules. IPtables didn't log anything into messages. The only big difference in the succesful 'system halt' and not succesful reboot is: shutdown[3213]: shutting down for system halt init: Switching to runlevel: 0 and shutdown[15663]: shutting down for system reboot init: Switching to runlevel: 6 TIA!

nm, appeared to be a bug in Xen Rebooting just did not work at all, only via Xen (and thus the support of the hosting company). FYI I used nmap XX.XX.XX.XX -P0 -p 22 to see somehow the port got filtered.
