A reboot causes the OS to halt, but the hardware just sits there on the

A shutdown -p does the same.
Other ACPIish stuff seems to work as advertised. (i.e. hitting the power
button cleanly shuts down the OS)
I'm posting this to stable@, but the same behaviour occurs with FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE as well.
Does setting "hw.acpi.handle_reboot" to 1 via sysctl help? If set, this
variable will use ACPI to perform the reboot action via the reset
register instead of using the keyboard controller or a triple fault to
reboot.
I manually changed that setting and the behaviour did not change.
Does the setting need set before the kernel boots?
The value of that parameter is checked at runtime so you should be able
to set it while the system is running. Do you get an "ACPI reset
failed" message on the console?
