The reset button does the job, but for a terminal server thats not a very good option. I have to be able to reboot it remotely. I can recompile the kernel, I've compiled this one, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. How do I set that "broken keyboard reset" option? I did not see it when I configured the kernel. The reboot says that the keyboard reboot failed, trying to do a cpu shutdown and then it dies. Thanks VSD On Mon, 19 Jan 1998, Greg Lehey wrote: > Hmm.
