We have:
static int reboot_mode;
int reboot_thru_bios;
static int __init reboot_setup(char *str)
{
...set reboot_mode/reboot_thru_bios according to reboot=...
}
__setup("reboot=", reboot_setup);
Farther down:
/* Write 0x1234 to absolute memory location 0x472. The BIOS
reads
this on booting to tell it to "Bypass memory test (also warm
boot)". This seems like a fairly standard thing that gets
set by
REBOOT.COM programs, and the previous reset routine did this
too. */
*((unsigned short *)0x472) = reboot_mode;
(similar code farther down in !reboot_thru_bios)
....but reboot_mode doesn't seem to be initialized if you don't set it
via reboot=...? (Same for reboot_thru_bios)
A simple patch to use the defaults (according to the code comments) is
below; if this is right please push accordingly:
Its against 2.4 but should apply to 2.5 as well.
