Do you mean the Qubes system itself?
Which version of Qubes are you running?
Do you see any error messages before the “reboot parameter file”
message?

im running r4.0

And do you mean the Qubes system?

yes qubes 4.0

yes but it freeze on this and dont reboot

@deeplow Thanks for that detail - it’s much appreciated.
That warning is (I think) spurious and fixed in current systemd - it’s a
consequence here of an older dom0.
It doesnt explain the failure to reboot: on that, I have no idea.

Im having the same issue

Recently I noticed those
watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
messages too. But the system still successfully restarts.
