Subject: [9fans] trouble with /dev/reboot and mp irqs
Topicbox-Message-UUID: ac72a33c-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

using "echo reboot $kernel>/dev/reboot" with mp irqs,
i'm getting one of three conditions
1.  a normal and very quick start of the new kernel.
(one odd bit: lapicerror: 0x00000000.  i assume that's
the unanswered ipi.)
2.  a reset and not a reboot
3.  a hang right after after the LAPIC: ... line.

i can get all three conditions on my little atom
machine.  other machines would rather not boot
the new kernel, they either reset or hang.

so the question is, is this a known problem or is
this a hardware or operator error?
