I have an alpha sx164 which has a problem when it rebooted via shutdown -r. This has happened with kernels 2.2.5 2.2.11 2.2.12 and 2.2.13, under RedHat6.0. It appears to be a problem in resetting the bus correctly. The symptoms are: 1. The UDMA disk connected to my Promise 20262 spins forever early on in the boot sequence. I am booting from the builtin ide controllers but the root is on hde. 2. The 8 SCSI disks connected to a 2940UW controller encounter parity errors and require many timeouts/resets before stabilizing. This of course destroyed the RAID5 disk that I had created with them. These symptoms are on different two machines with exactly the same motherboards, but different AlphaBioses and amount of memory. Is this a known problem with milo/kernel is it possible to get a colder boot. Boots from a powered down state exhibit none of these problems.
Thanks David
