?
I'm suspicious that we might have some uninitialised data pages somewhere.
All of a sudden, I now am having reboot problems again once I've booted into
smp. (ie: if I do a reboot or halt, I mist physically hit reset before the
kernel will come up into multi-user). I had this problem months earlier this
year.
The code that I committed should not have changed your syscons behavior BTW,
apart from changing code alignment and memory allocation by a few pages.
Oh, the other thing that was changed was the "press RESET or RETURN" after
printing the IOApicMask vs. imen values was removed. Try putting it back
in autoconf.c and see if your problem returns?
Cheers,
