I don't know yet when the problem got in, since I've been using a 2.4.21 base + acpi-20030424-2.4.21-rc1.diff for a long time without this problem, and don't know if this was the case with intermediate versions since it's not something that I immediately notice. I will try to identify which pre-release brought this problem. Basically, when I reboot, the screen goes black, and I hear the speakers shut down exactly as when it will reboot. But nothing appears on the screen anymore. I must say that I also had this behaviour with the above version only when I used LOCAL_APIC. But I tried both with and without, without success. I clearly suspect my BIOS since it's a real crap, but since it once worked, I'll search a bit. Other than that, power down works pretty well (this has always been a problem on this crap too), and the rest of the kernel is really fine and stable. Regards, Willy
