I recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.1R (from CD) on my HP Vectra XA 166 MMX machine here at work. Everything works beautifully (and fast, BTW!) except for reboots. From FreeBSD, the machine is impossible to reboot... er... I mean... FreeBSD does its reboot routine, and the screen goes black (and I can't drop down into the kernel debugger or etc..) and stays that way indefinitely. Win95 seems to tickle the right bits, as does Linux. I've played with the BIOS settings dealing with everything, to no avail. I assume FreeBSD is just using the ol' keyboard controller reboot (with a fallback to a triple-fault or something...), so I'm a little baffled. Anybody else out there seen this behavior?? It really sucks when I wedge the machine remotely :( (BTW... the 'wedges' I speak of seem to have the same inode-free but not really problem that Thomas David Rivers speaks of periodically) Thanks, -Troy -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Troy Curtiss, HW/SW Engineer | Email: troyc@merix.com | | Merix Corporation, CL-302 | Phone: (970) 203-6643 | | Loveland, CO 80537 | Fax : (970) 203-6610 | \-----------------------------------------------------------/
