This is quite interesting, as there is only one function/macro, which seems to be messing up things -- I don't know much (hardly anything) aboout that hardwarestuff, but I'll have a look at i8042_command as soon as I find the time. At least it's a start... > Sascha, to see if your problem is the same as mine, you might try > putting this bit of code before the above call: [reboot code] > > It will cause your machine to reboot before it's even finished booting, It works, so this seems to be the exactly same issue. I only tested with the code before the point above, I'll do further testings at the weekend, but I'm quite optimistic, that you found the point of failure. Thanks! > so don't do it with your only available kernel! don't worry, lots o'kernel here... ;-) cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde : "There are 10 types of people in the world. : Those who understand binary and those who don't."
