The first cpu_reset() [i386/machdep.c] method (twiddle reset on
kbd controller) quite reliably hangs two of my motherboards after printing
"rebooting...".
Commenting that out and letting cpu_reset() try the second method
(triple faulting on bad idt) fixes that problem.
Perhaps this is related?
Cheers,
Phil
