I am attempting to commission a new server based on an Intel SE7501WV2 motherboard with a pair of 2.6MHz Xeons and 2GB Ram. Most of this is working superbly but it refuses to reboot.
shutdown -h now (or any time) works properly but shutdown -r now gets most of the way through but hangs after displaying the final line:-


Restarting system.

The same applies for synonyms such as ctrl-alt-del or reboot. For a machine that will be running in a remote datacentre the inability to reboot would be disasterous so I have to find a fix beyond simply pressing the reset button!

The system has been installed both with the beta4 netinst CD and I have tried yesterday's (2004-06-09) netinst (which was broken) and businesscard intallers. I also tried installing stable from the businesscard CD with the intention of trying an apt-get dist-upgrade but stable doesn't seem to like the system causing a kernel panic in booting (maybe a 160GB disk is beyond woody, not tried before this). Knoppix 3.3 run from the CD reboots perfectly. Sysvinit from unstable doesn't change anything.
various outputs so what is in this beast can be seen:-

(The scsi disks will be run as a pair of RAIDED partitions, in the current install I missed all of that out to see if that caused the problem, it didn't)

I can't think what other output may help anyone diagnose my problem but any (and all) suggestions would be more than gratefully received.
