The machine doesn't actually reboot (at least not after the minute or two I let it sit), and I have to hit the reset button to reboot it. This is an older HP server with EISA and PCI buses and on-board AIC78xx controllers. It was functioning as of 2 weeks ago running Novell Netware, and will still boot into Netware (I haven't overwritten the disks). Any guesses to what's wrong? I'd like to retry with a custom kernel image on floppy, are there any docs for building a custom install kernel on floppy for installation?
