In the past I have been annoyed by (mostly Intel) mobos that reboot instead of powering down when halt -p is entered. We just tell 'em to halt and then hit the switch at the blue message. Forget sometimes = just one more cycle ;-)
BUT now I have found a mobo that does powerdowns just fine. Problem is it won't reboot if the reboot command (or any alternative) is issued. It just hangs with the Rebooting . . . message. Google and MARC found me a few hits but any that looked like my case went unanswered and came from a fair way back in time. Are there any config changes that are worth trying, any BIOS settings that might work, any bit of code I can run to bypass the buggy bios/chipset/whatever ? Please don't reply off-list or CC me. I am subscribed and I will not see mail that doesn't arrive from the list-server. Anything coming from elsewhere is greytrapped.
