In case anyone is interested, the default method of rebooting doesn't work on this 486/66 motherboard I have dug up.
Also, /proc/cpuinfo says: model : 487 DX
It's really a i486 DX2/66 MHz.
Specifying 'reboot=bios' does work however, which leads me to a question:
If the default method of rebooting without the BIOS (using keyboard/triple fault) doesn't work, why does the current code sit in an infinite loop when it would be just as easy to attempt that a certain number of times and then attempt the BIOS instead?
A pair of debugging printk's told me which reboot it was trying to do each time, specifically machine_restart() in arch/i386/kernel/process.c
