Hello all.

First time posting here, so I apologize in advance if my question doesn't
belong on this list.

I've been using some Compaq Deskpro DPENS Pentium II machines as OpenBSD
firewalls since late 2.x to early 3.x. Recently I made the jump to 4.8 and all
seems to work fine except I noticed the reboot command does not appear to
work. The machine gets halted, screen blanks out, but that's as far as it
goes. I re-installed 3.3 and confirmed the reboot works fine under 3.3.

Any tips/hints to help troubleshoot or resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

MC.

I am running both 32bit and  64 bit as virtual Servers on VirtualBOX. Pls
see my /etc/rc.shutdown   file below. it is default.

I just hit *reboot* command.

reboot works fine on both machines.



# cat
/etc/rc.shutdown

#       $OpenBSD: rc.shutdown,v 1.7 2006/06/22 00:41:59 deraadt Exp $
#
# If it exists, this script is run at system-shutdown by reboot(8),
# halt(8).  If the architecture supports keyboard requested halting,
# it is also run by init(8) when such an event happens.
#

*powerdown=NO*    # set to YES for powerdown

#
# Your shell code goes here

Sorry, my subject line should have been more specific.....

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have tested reboot command with 
VMWare and Virtualbox virtual machines and it works fine.
The problem is with my Compaq Deskpro DPENS-P350/6.4/N4.

I have tried 'powerdown=YES' in rc.shutdown, but it made no difference.

I did notice with 'dmesg', that there was an error on startup regarding 
"........can't enable ACPI", so I tried booting a kernel file with ACPI 
disabled. Still no successful reboot.

Not sure what else to try, or even how to go about troubleshooting this 
problem.

I dont know if it helps but have you tried setting machdep.apmhalt=1?

Still no reboot.

We wouldn't have to play guess the machine if you sent a dmesg, but my

That has nothing to do with rebooting.

Here's the dmesg from my machine....

I have tried booting kernel files with acpi enabled only, apm enabled 
only, acpi & apm disabled, and acpi & apm disabled. Still no successful 
reboot.

Don't know of anything else to try, so any other tips/hints would be 
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

MC.

Try a -current snapshot to prove the problem still exists.

Try 3.4, 3.5. 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5,
4.6, 4.7 and see where it breaks.
