The other possibility is that when the keyboard controller write triggers some SMM code, it makes an assumption about some piece of hardware state that isn't true and loops for a while to see if it changes. If we knew what that was then we could ensure that we're performing the same state change on our way down to reboot. One thing that would be worth checking is whether performing the keyboard controller writes from userspace with a minimal kernel and init=/bin/bash shows the 9-second pause or not - and then, ideally, see whether the same is also true under DOS. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@...f.ucam.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
