[...] 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. :-(

Well, have a look at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plai... and search for "Dell". Some models need the kernel option reboot=bios and some reboot=pci. Perhaps you have found another not yet included model that needs such an option.

Jan, thanks a lot for this hint. I just scanned the file, but this seems to hit the target. Great!!!
