I also have an 486-DX4-100 PCI ASUS SP3G, and with 2.0.5, reboot from GENERIC kernel hangs on about every 2nd try. This was never a problem with the 950412-SNAP, which I have rebootet remotely about 100 times without need to run to the machine's console. I have build a custom kernel only yesterday, I dont know yet if that behaves better. I have cache-write-back and ISA-GAT-enabled, and my SCSI-bus is triple-terminated (dont ask why ;-) but is quiescent when reboot hangs, However, as I said, this was no problem with the SNAP installation.
