When attempting to reboot the system freezes at "stopping other CPUs" and has to be hard-reset with either the power button or the RESET switch. The problem is easily reproduced - typing "reboot" produces it :-)

I'm wondering if that ACPI warning in the boot sequence is involved in this, and if so, if there is a recommended workaround?

Here's the "dmesg" from the subject system:

Hi,
I have the same chipset, but dont see the reboot problem on RELENG_7 from Jan 7th. (via "shutdown -r now") Have you checked for BIOS updates ?

Hi,

I don't get the numbers of CPUs -- AFAIK Core i7 has 4 cores with 2 logical CPUs per core (hyper-threading?) and that makes 8 logical CPUs. Above I see 8 cores per package (!) _but_ 8 x 2 = 16 while only 8 CPUs are detected and started. Could someone explain pls ?

Cheers,

M.
