Re: CentOS 4.4 on Dell PE 6400 - not rebooting ...

Sadly - I had not ...

BUT - I just tried "acpi=off" and no difference.

I'll try what ever iterations I can come up with ...

The BIOS of the PE6400 is 'current' as are the other three devices that show at POWER ON.

A reboot (or shutdown -r now) follows through to " ", but the machine never restarts - it appears to freeze (num-lock works, key-caps does not and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing) - I have to press and hold the power button to
force a restart.

Have you tried booting the box (and then rebooting) with one/some/all
of the various APIC/ACPI options? e.g. "noapic noacpi apic=off
acpi=off"?

And is your BIOS firmware up to date?
