From c7ffa6c26277b403920e2255d10df849bd613380 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:11:27 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86: default to reboot via ACPI Triple-fault and keyboard reset may assert INIT instead of RESET; however INIT is blocked when Intel VT is enabled. This leads to a partially reset machine when invoking emergency_restart via sysrq-b: the processor is still working but other parts of the system are dead. Default to rebooting via ACPI, which correctly asserts RESET and reboots the machine. This is safe since we will fall back to keyboard reset and triple fault if acpi is not enabled or if the reset is not successful.
