nope... and it's exactly the same on my PC. I'm using kernel 2.0.13 and this *NEVER* worked on my pentium system. In fact, that's not exact. It sometimes shut down the screen (because there's no more video signal), it rarely reboots, and it almost always lock up. I've no idea why, but it's maybe in the arch/i386/kernel/process.c hard_reset_now function. If nobody did investigate, I'll take a look at it

PS : before everybody asks, APM *IS* disabled everywhere (kernel + BIOS) and I already tried to play with BIOS settings... -- \\-----------------------------------------------------------\\ // Alexandre Maret -- Linux : The choice of a GNU generation // \\ amaret@infomaniak.ch -- http://www.infomaniak.ch/~amaret \\ //-----------------------------------------------------------//
