Same happens to me on > my laptop. Did you try it with acpi turned off? Is there somwething going on with state-of-the-market machines that our ACPI doesn't account for? The reason I ask: I recently build a new FreeBSD box using the ASRock AOD790GX. Like the venerable (2001 vintage) machine it replaced, "shutdown -p" works fine. However, with "shutdown -r" the shutdown part works but not the reboot. (Otherwise a nice board.) I'm willing to believe there's a BIOS setting that would fix this; I just wish I knew what it was.
