It might also be a different issue: I have one workstation (an Dell Optiplex 990) where reboot doesn't work at all. Neither remote nor on console. Linux terminates all process, unmounts all disks, and then nothing happens. Bloody annoying. :-(

That use to be pretty standard for a certain vintage of machines with dual processors (not dual cores, but separate CPU chips).

Oh, it's a few weeks old Dell system with Intel Core i7 CPU. Well, several of them. But definitively no vintage system. It stops after the "Please stand by while rebooting the system..." message, when usually the BIOS is triggered to reboot. Probably I should check if there is a newer BIOS version available, but the situation wasn't quite annoying enough, up to now. ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
