Did you see Roland's note about his own 490? He said his only fails to reboot when running an i386 kernel, but works fine w/an x86_64 kernel, which doesn't conflict with what I've seen, since mine's also running an x86_64 kernel. He also mentioned that this started sometime between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23. If you are indeed running a 32-bit kernel, it sounds like an i686-specific kernel bug. -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx
