The following reply was made to PR i386/34092; it has been noted by GNATS. From: brent@catmind.org To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, anselmg@t-online.de Cc: Subject: Re: i386/34092: reboot hangs the system (IBM PC Server 315) Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 00:24:20 -0500 (CDT) Hello, I just noticed this PR in the bug database, and I wanted to add that I've observed the same thing on my IBM PC Server 315, that it will not reboot without cycling the power. It's not a problem for me really, because FreeBSD is stable enough that I've never found a need to reboot the system remotely or under automation for any reason. Nonetheless, it is strange, and probably just due to weird IBM hardware, because.... It does the same thing in other operating systems. Just for the purpose of experiment, I tried rebooting it in Microsoft Windows, and it behaves the same. In fact, the only operating system I've seen that *can* warm boot the PC Server 315 is MS-DOS -- the old Ctrl-Alt-Del works. So this would appear to most definitely not be caused by FreeBSD. Anyway, just thought the problem report maintainer might want to hear that. Wouldn't you expect after all that the most non-standard hardware in the IBM-compatible world is made by IBM? ;-) Brent
