Soft re-boot when using floppy disk as boot
device on Ruby systems
It has been brought to our attention that if a soft re-boot
(Ctrl-Alt-Del) is attempted when the screen is reading "Starting MS-DOS" the
system will hang. To reboot, a cold boot has to be performed (switching off the machine).
The problem only occurs when a bootable floppy disk is fitted into a
XEN-PC range machine with a RUBY board fitted.
It is advised to either attempt a soft boot after the machine has booted
to the DOS prompt or completely switch off. |
