This means your MB is broken such that we have no current way to make it reboot :-(. It fails the keyboard reset, and fails to detect a CPU shutdown condition :-(. To fix this requires about 40 man hours of kernel work to implement a limited ability to call certail bios entry points from real mode. Not an easy task, and one that has been discussed on one of the lists by Bruce, myself and a few others. You _might_ try flashing the latest revision of the BIOS into that thing and see if that clears up the problems, but I doubt it. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
