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!!!
