Problem rebooting the AMD SC520.

Hi,
We are currently running Linux (Red Hat 6.2) on a card with AMD SC520.
We use rolo to boot a 2.2.12 kernel and everything works quite good,
except for rebooting the card.
When I run the Linux command 'reboot' it finally comes to a function
in the kernel called machine_restart (in
linux/arch/i386/kernel/process.c). This function tries to reset the
processor in a number of ways. I've added a call for setting the
CPU_RST bit in SYSCTLA register but this doesn't seem to work either.
I've also tried to generate the triple-fault before everything else.
The processor doesn't start from the reset vector at 0xFFF1, like it
does when we disconnect and connects the power.
I wan't to do a complete reset of the processor and that must the
purpose of machine_restart, isn't it? Anyone that recognises this or
perhaps knows what the problem might be?
Glad for any help I can get.

Re: Problem rebooting the AMD SC520.
^^^^^^
Shure? Should be 0xFFFFFFF0 (consider real mode and the trick with the
descriptor base register).
Try set RESCFG to 0x0C, before setting CPU_RST in SYSCTLA. And don't
forget to reset the PCI bus (while you wake up after such kind of
reset), if you have a device that could be a master on the bus.
Hope it helps.
