With a January 1997 kernel, machdep.c 1.221
486-SP3G: intermittantly fails to reboot (most "real" OSes do this)
P55-TP4XE: never had a problem
With mid february 1997 kernel sources, with machdep.c 1.224
486-SP3G: reboots ok (tried three times)
P55-TP4XE: won't reboot at all
I'll update my sources completely and try again, but this is a
preliminary indicator... I think my P55-TP4XE might not have the
latest BIOS too...
Hardware:
486-SP3G: ASUS 486-PCI-SP3G motherboard, i486dx4-100 CPU, 32MB RAM,
P55-TP4XE: ASUS P55-TP4XE motherboard, P5-100 CPU, 64MB RAM
