We have several of these same machines.. and they all behave in the same manner. I know that don't help you much.. but, at least you know you're not alone.. heh. James Harless -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Robert Brown Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 11:00 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: cant reboot on a Compaq Deskpro Hi, I am somewhat new to FreeBSD and was hoping for some feedback on a (possible) problem I am having with a 4.5 install... I installed 4.5-stable on a Compaq Deskpro EN series 6350: 350 mHz PII, 192 MB PC100, Adaptec AHA 2940 SCSI Card, 4.3 Gig IBM SCSI HD, DFE-530TX+ NIC, ATI Rage PRO 4 Meg AGP Video Card & Onboard sound....Running the GENERIC kernel. The install went fine and FBSD runs flawlessly, but the machine wont reboot. When I run "reboot" or "shutdown -r now" from root or su, it appears to freeze and never reboots. At that point I switch the power off/on again and it boots fine and skips the disk checks as if it were shutdown properly. "shutdown -h now" works as it should. Its as if the normal reboot commands essentially accomplish the same thing as "shutdown -h now" except the screen freezes after the "syncing discs" message. I have tried every practical combination of settings in the bios..power management, etc.. to no avail. Can this be remedied? Or should I even be worried about this?..Any experience with this scenario would be appreciated. ;-) -- Robert Brown To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
