Soft rebooting the machine results in a hang after the BIOS has done its thing, but before the system even tries to access the disk to find the bootblocks. The workaround for me is to enable apm support, shutdown -p, and then hit the power button to bring things back to life. I've seen a somewhat similar problem with the machine when it was running NT, but that's gone away now - it's running FreeBSD exclusively. My (somewhat less than educated) guess points the finger to a broken BIOS, but I'll have to do some more investigation first (I think a 4 hour plane trip on Friday will be an ideal time to look at this :) -aDe -- Ade Lovett, RemarQ Communities, Inc., San Jose, CA. mailto:ade@remarq.com http://www.remarq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
