Since we are at it: Mine fails to reset whenever i'm using the sequence "halt" -> "Hit any key..." -> "hit the anykey" -> "partial reset" -> "beep beep beep". This is with both methods (kbd controller reset now, CPU shutdown in old systems), and it _always_ works for the "reboot" case. (It neither works for things like "call cpu_reset" from DDB.) The mainboard is a not-so-recent EISA mainboard, SiS chipset, Phonix BIOS. The "beep beep beep" seems to indicate that the video controller is stuck after the reoboot (and no video memory found). Any ideas? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
