I have no easy access to usenet, nor the time to even wade in and try and find this stuff in the massave volumes. If you see people having this hang problem with 2.0.5A or later could you please have them try the ``BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET'' option, that has fixed about 50 to 75% of the reports I have seen. The other 50 to 25% are the bear and I am trying to collect some data on the failure (one case it fails both mechanisms and I have given the person a third mechanism to try out, waiting to here back on that one). This problem has actually been around for a long time (machines that would not detect a CPU shutdown cycle have always hung during the reboot). I don't know if I have made the problem worse or better though with my keyboard reset, as that now seems to hang machines that did not hang before. Perhaps I should reverse the logic of the #ifdef and only use the keyboard reset on machines that have broken cpu shutdown detection.
