This is a know caveat for 12.0(5) xu and 12.0(5) xp IOS release.  if you
upgrade to 12.1 it appears to go away.  I worked through this with the TAC.

Has anyone seen an issue with some of the 3500XL, 2924XL, or 2916s where
they reboot if they are connected to a laptop running Windows 2000 while the
laptop is booting?  It didn't happen under windows 98, but for some reason
2000 sends some weird signals out the serial port that causes Cisco switches
to reboot.

In NT 4.0, you could add a /NoSerialMice switch to the boot.ini line which
disables searching for a serial mouse on the comm ports.

I've heard a couple windows people at my company talk about how the
plug/play features of Win2K go so far as poke at the serial port to check
for devices such as UPS.  I suppose some characters could be sent to the
console which could crash the box  Just a thought..

When NT or W2K reboots, they send signals to the serial port to detect the
attatched equiptment. It happens to me all the time and I remeber this was
documented somewhere in the archives.

Sounds like you have something in the startup up that sends a signal to the
serial port, possibly something like a PalmPilot Sync software or along
those lines.

I have a dell 3500 laptop running win2k pro that I have used to configure a
half dozen 3500 and a few 2924 switches and I have been connected to the
console port while booting and have not noticed anything like this
happening.  perhaps it is a manufacturer specific issue
