Hi Jon

I was about to prepare a patch for this change last Friday, but the
system hanged on Saturday, after a few weeks of smooth reboots. The
other unit with reboot=p (as Eric suggested to be the most reliable
way of rebooting) is still going without any issues, so maybe that is
the best workaround for now.

I have now put the first unit in reboot=p, and will keep monitoring
them. I am open to any other suggestions if anyone has any tweaks they
think will help with the KBD reboot.

Regards
Keith
