What is the proper way to reboot OZ 3.5.4.1?
When I used Beta1, I typed reboot and it shut the Zaurus right down and I had to hit the power button to turn it back on.
Now with Beta2 all three of my tricks (reboot, shutdown, and init 6) take me to a blanks screen. When I press Enter is shows me that shutdown has started but never seems to get past sutting down the gpe-dm (display manager).
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug that hrw is going to tell me to report.
p.s. shutdown -r doesn't seem to work. Is this how it's always been?

With kernel 2.6 it is currently not possible to reboot. It is a known problem and will eventually be fixed. That bug isn't very high on the priority list tho
Kernel 2.6.16 as included in alpha2 has another subtle bug which causes gpe-dm to hang on "stop".
The work-around is to delete the "dd" line in the gpe-dm script until this bug is resolved.

Thanks for the info.
