Dear someone at freebsd, 

I love the system, & have 2.2.2 up as server for barvennon.com .  I am upgrading (experimenting) on/to 2.2.5 on a second
computer, and there seems to be no way to get it (2nd pc) to do a shutdown or reboot.  When that computer is on dos 6.22
MEMMAKER can reboot, so it probably isn't an inherent hardware prob.  I have tried with or without booteasy, always the
same prob., it just stops before complete shutdown.  Below are vital statistics, if you want i can let you get at it online, to check
what is set up inside.. 

hardware - ibm "value point"  486dx-33   8MB RAM, 203mb HD 

software - freebsd 2.2.5 with dedicated disk 203MB (booteasy with a dos partition didn't work any better.) 

the messages... 

shutdown -r now 

shutdown NOW! 
shutdown: [PID171] 

***FINAL System shutdown message from root@zeta.barvennon.com*** 

System going down IMMEDIATELY 

May   4 15:43:39 zeta shutdown: reboot by root: 
May   4 15:43:39 zeta shutdown: reboot by root: 

System shutdown time has arrived 
May   4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 
May   4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 
May   4 15:43:41 zeta syslogd: exiting on signal 15 

Syncing discs... 8 8 6 done 
rebooting... 
keyboard reset did not work, attempting CPU shutdown 

and there is where it hangs. 

sometimes, it stops at an earlier point. 

have you got a fix?  maybe I have installed it wrong, but I have reinstalled it dozens of times on that hardware, no luck, always
the same prob.  I installed it on another computer, & this problem did not arise. 

I suspect the IBM hardware, is it different, in a way that you did not account for in BSD? 

I am happy to set up an account on barvennon.com from which you can log onto zeta as su & inspect. 

chris
