I've got a Supermicro 370DL3 running a two weeks old RELENG_4:

running 4.2-RELEASE reboots initiated by the machine itself (shutdown, ie
SIGINT to init) did not work always. In most cases the machine when down
displayed the "Rebooting Now" text but did not really do it. With 4.2-stable
it works.

One thing that doesnt is APM in SMP mode. During but the kernel hangs before
it wants to start init. Since APM is disabled by default and I'm using it as
a server it's not a dig deal. However, since lack of APM also means that
I can't soft-poweroff the machine I'd like to take a closer look soon.
(If I can get the time ...)
