[CentOS] 4.4 on PE6400 - not rebooting ... FINALLY WORKS !

Folks - FYI:

I finally got it to work (at least once)!

     reboot=bios,smp,warm

Since I didn't actually TRY 'reboot=triple',  I, of course, am  
wondering if 'reboot=triple' is synonymous for  
'reboot=bios,smp,warm' ...

Mmmmm - masochism!!!

A co-worker pointed me to this:

     /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.9/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Specifically:

    reboot=	[BUGS=IA-32,BUGS=ARM,BUGS=IA-64] Rebooting mode
		Format: <reboot_mode>[,<reboot_mode2>[,...]]
		See arch/*/kernel/reboot.c or arch/*/kernel/process.c

BUT - I don't have either 'reboot.c' or 'process.c' (ARG!)

So ... after a TON of googling I found references to various  
combinations of the three, but not all three together.

It works!!!  FINALLY!!!
