17 That's working great for shutting down, but rebooting seems to get
18 caught in some kind of a loop or something. After going down for
19 reboot the screen flashes several times and then displays the console
20 as it looks right after boot-up but before xdm starts. The cursor
21 next to login flashes but it does not respond to key presses. I am
22 setting up xdm and gdm for the first time. Any ideas?
