      Hmm, that looks like it might be Wake-on-LAN related.

      Have you configured anything differently in the BIOS?

        I have not, in fact I had never been in the bios until I was trying to troubleshoot this. I don’t think I changed anything but I can set it back to defaults and ensure WoL is disabled.

          Seems unrelated in fact. My test 5100 also shows that in verbose mode but reboots as expected.

          Hard to imagine it could be anything but a BIOS setting or actual hardware at that point.

            When I have time for a longer downtime I’ll get the latest factory image, reset the bios and reflash the os. Maybe even get a new boot disk. I vaguely remember this one being a cheaper one I got for a project that fell through and got tossed in a drawer.

              It's a possibility but it's hard to see what might have changed in 23.01 that could cause it.

              The 5100 can be installed UEFI or legacy (BIOS). Try running: sysctl machdep.bootmethod to find out. My test box is currently BIOS.

                Mine is currently in BIOS mode as well. However I’m not sure it’s related to 23.01.

                  Ah, you think it may have also been hanging there in 22.05?

                    It was. I’m trying to remember when the last time I actually had to reboot was. I feel the rolling blackouts in December were fine but those also caused full power loss. But I vaguely remember having to pull the power for a reboot before then.

                    It started after replacing the drive but not immediately.

                    But it was most noticeable when I tried to install the 23.01 rc. Since it hung rebooting while still in 22.05.

                    After performing a nfs snapshot restore to 22.05 I had the same issue rebooting.

                      Ah, OK. That does start to seem like it might be the drive then.

                      I have experienced pretty much the same thing with a rogue drive in an MBT-4220. Not seen it in a 5100 but it could be possible.

                        Do you have any drives you would suggest or recommend?

                          I have the drive we fitted to various devices which unhelpfully shown as 'NT-32'.

                          There are a few threads here with other users reporting the drives they used in 5100s. I don't really have anything I can recommend personally.
