[Soekris] 5501 reboot problem

[Tom Mazzotta]

About 10 days ago, I saw a couple of postings from EV & Martin Johnson regarding a reboot problem with the 5501. Well I recieved a new 5501 today, and I seem to be having the same problem. I'm booting off a 2.5" Fujitsu drive w/ FreeBSD 6.2 (previously installed using a 4801). System boots fine on power on, however, after issuing a reboot command in FreeBSD, the reboot gets as far as displaying the amount of installed memory and processor type, then just hangs!

I'm haven't installed any CF. I tried configuring the HD as Primary/Master w/ FLASH=Secondary as well as the HD jumpered for Primary/Slave w/ FLASH=Primary. Same problems w/ rebooting in either configuration.

I don't recall seeing a resolution to this issue via the list server. Does anyone know how to get around the problem?
