We've just purchased a new platform based on the Supermicro 370SSR motherboard, and we're seeing anomolous behaviour on those systems, and ONLY on those systems. On every other system we've used, dmesg shows all the information from the most-recent boot. On the supermicro systems, we may see the information from the last 3 boots! I see the lines: syncing disks... done Rebooting... and then we go right into the next boot. At present, one of the machines shows all the detail from 2.75 reboots. How and why is it doing this, and how do I make it stop? Thanks in advance, -Les -- Les Biffle Community Service... Just Say NO!
