As an example; FreeBSD has trouble reliably rebooting a number of motherboards; the ones I've had problems with were all 486 systems, but I'm sure there were some P5 boards with the same problems. Could you detail the appropriate steps to take to reliably force a reboot from protected mode? And could whoever was in there last (Rod I suspect...) look and see how this compares with the way we do things? (Obviously I'll look as well, but I can't propose that I'll understand it all...) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
