From: Bodo Stroesser In most cases reboot failed on my system. After "Restarting system.", UML exited without further messages. I found an SIGIO being processed by sig_handler() resp. sig_handler_common_skas(). Don't know, why this exits, maybe the context is no longer valid at this time. So, I changed the sequence in the reboot part of main() to stop the timers and disable the fds before unblocking the signals. Since this wasn't enough, I also added set_handler(SIGXXX, SIG_IGN) calls to disable_timer() and deactivate_all_fds(). Now reboot works fine in SKAS and it still works in TT.
