  • 1.  Undesired booting into SMS

    Created a new partition on a p550, but each time I perform a "shutdown -r", it comes into SMS asking for boot information. Hit escape from the console and it boots normally. The partition profile is set for "normal" not SMS and the bootlist info is correct. What else am I missing? TIA for any assistance.

    This normally happens when 'multiboot' is set on in the SMS menus. Turn off and it should stop

    Had not realized that multiboot was enabled in SMS. After disabling that, reboots no longer went to SMS, first. Thanks, much, for the assistance.

    If a partition is activated in SMS mode, either in the partition profile or by overriding the partition profile, shutdown -r will reboot the partition to SMS mode every time until the partition is deactivated and reactivated in NORMAL mode. Then shutdown -r will reboot without going to SMS provided NORMAL is configured in the partition profile.
