Description Frank Wang 2004-03-19 18:56:05 UTC
Distribution:

Hardware Environment:
    Twinhead P88TE(750C). Celeron 366MHz, Intel 440BX, HD 20G

Software Environment:
    2.6.5-rc1-bk3 kernel, KDE-3.1.4, gcc 3.2.2

Problem Description:
    If reboot choosed, say 'shutdown -r now' as root, everything looks fine
during rebooting process except system hangs when the final prompt "Restart...."

This is the same on my box:

Comment 5 P Simmons 2006-12-10 12:03:00 UTC
VIA CentaurHauls Samuel 2 cpu has same problem.  Is this possibly because the
march is reported as i686, but the processor lacks complete i686 instruction set?

Using an i586 kernel works on this machine.

Any updates on this problem?
Thanks.

If this still a problem, please reopen.
Closing it since no recent activity, hopefully it's been fixed.
