Bug 25284

Summary: PC164 won't reboot with graphics console
Product: Base System Reporter: Christian Weisgerber <naddy>
Component: alphaAssignee: freebsd-alpha (Nobody) <alpha>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 5.0-CURRENT   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Christian Weisgerber 2001-02-22 16:40:01 UTC 
The PC164 won't reboot(8) with a graphics console.  After FreeBSD
halts, there is some kind of register dump and finally

*** Console Stopped because of 660 Machine Check  ***
*** Press HALT Button to return to console !! ***

(HALT doesn't do anything, RESET is required.)

This also happens when you never touch the keyboard and only access
the box over the network.

It reboots just fine with a serial console.
halt(8) is not affected.

Fix: 

None known.

Any chance you could transcribe the register dump by hand at all or does it
scroll off the screen?

Alas, most of it scrolls off the screen.

Hmm.  Anyone else having problems with reboot(8) hanging
if used on the graphics console?

Also, does this happen in a kernel where 'SMP' is removed?
