Hard reset / reboot fails

Hi X1000 owners!

I do have a problem since day one - both AmigaOS and Linux (first was Ubuntu now is Debian 7) simply
don`t restart the machine (hard restart, not AmigaOS soft reset, 3 fingers salute). In fact machine
does restart but simply machine doesn`t show X1000 boot screen or sends any video signal to monitor.

Shutdown surely works and on turning on everything works like charm.

Is this isolated problem of mine, and what would be the cause, or other X1000 users have similar glitch?

@vox

I have the same problem with the Sam 460 , everything depend of the VideoCard and the x86 emulator in our machine bios. Probably future fixed release of Uboot will fix this problem

@tlosm

Ahm, so it might be CFE related (X1000 BIOS)

@vox

Can be ... Because I on Sam investigating with Hans and the Radeonhd don't have problems .
Probably this cards use a different signal for the reset and he x86 emulator In the Sam and probably in x1000 too don't is recognised .
My video board is a 6670hd 1 gb gddr5 ..your?

@tlosm

Radeon HD 6870 1GB

So it might be Radeon 6000 and higher prob. If not CFE/Uboot but problem exists.

Lets see will our beloved developers react at all.

I thought that yours was a soft-reset problem.

BTW, with the Sam460ex it's better to push the power button briefly to do a hard reset than push the case's reset button.

@Hans

yes it was a keyboard reset gave me the same problems described by Vox with the 6670hd

I was thinking about vox and can be this because the linux kernel write some memory region usded by X1000 (uboot?) for start its bios and need poweroff for flush totally the ram?
Probably a new linux kernel or bootstrap can fix it problem.

@tlosm

Yes, I assume it can be CFE also, even people direct me to check the PSU !??? Linux kernel it isn‚t as Linux reboots normally, and same problem occurs from AmigaOS 4.1.6

Solved by using reset button on X1000 case

However, software problem might persist.

Happy new 2014

@vox
typing reboot in shell should work too :)
