Box is an EISA, some SiS chipset, ELSA Winner 1000 grfx (S3 86C928). Reboots normally work, but under some particular circumstances (e.g. if i call ``cpu_reset'' from DDB, after a panic or somesuch), it attempts to reboot, and finally just sits there and beeps. The beep code indicates that it didn't find its video adaptor. I have to hit reset then. This is (i think) still with a kernel that only uses the ``CPU shut down'' method. Hmmm... just looked up the kernel source. The CPU reset code is already in there, so now i'm not sure if the symptom still happens now. I'll watch out for it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
