AMD motherboard: no reset

Some boards with AMD processor cannot perform any boot reset under a 32bit protected mode operating system (Linux, OS/2, ...). The reason for this is either a wrong wiring or BIOS configuration, so the order is easily ignored. DOS uses here another command, so that the error is not noticed otherwise.

Change the configuration in BIOS and/or the jumpers on the mainboard to NON-SL-CPU . For doing so read the mainboard's description or ask your dealer. Possibly a new BIOS version must be recorded onto the mainboard . The best is to ask your dealer or the mainboard manufacturer.

In some boards both must be changed.

Hint: This topic is not really dramatic: Linux is cleanly shut down!
