hi,
I have a a5486 board, which does not reboot. after unmounting all filesystems and writing "Rebooting", the screen goes blank, but after that you'll wait infinitely on a reboot. under m$/dos, rebooting works. is it done a different way (i.e. jmp far fffffff0) ?
then I removed all hardware I had except for a PCI video card and the HDD which is a Quantum Fireball IDE.
system did not reboot.
oh well, so I planned on rewriting hard_reset_now, and since I guessed that this would surely require some fscks, I changed the disk. I removed the 1G Quantum Fireball and put in a 80MB disk ("Miniscribe").
You can imaging how surprised I was, when suddenly the system rebooted without problems !
Does anyone of you understand what's going on here ? How can a hard-disk hinder the system rebooting ?! That's beyond my knowledge and understanding...
