I'll try the acpi route prior to the next reboot. Just looked, and it's
an AMD Sempron 3100. The machine runs flawlessly except for this remote
reboot problem. I normally don't bother trying to reboot except when
there is a kernel update that fixes something. As this is a production
machine too, I try to leave it running as much as possible, and it's a
PITA to have to get someone from the ISP's staff to meet me at the co-lo
site to let me in. As for the arch, I generally use i386 to indicate
anything intel or amd that is not a 64-bit processor, which as Jim
mentioned is rather old terminology. I came along when 8088's were the
mainstay of computers. Gosh, thinking about that, it seems like it was
a century ago !
