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
