It cam restart Linux fine. Today, I tried the same thing with Linux-2.6.13.4. It fails, too. The symptoms are that you just "reboot" Linux. When the GRUB loader comes up, I select my Windows-2000/professional. That M$ Crap comes up to where it's just about to start the high-resolution screen. Then it stops forever, no interrupts, no nothing. I need to disconnect power and remove the battery to recover. It appears as though Linux is still restarting as a "warm boot", rather than a cold boot (in other words, putting magic in the shutdown byte of CMOS) so the hardware doesn't get properly initialized. Would somebody please check this out. When changing operating systems, you need a cold-boot. Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.6.13.4 on an i686 machine (5589.44 BogoMips).
