When i type 'reboot' kernel shuts down but Amiga does
not restart. It shows green screen. Machine does not
restaqrt even upon hardware reset. I have to switch off
the power.
are you running an AmigaOS tool such as 'BlizzKick'? If so,
the RESBUF which it uses gets corrupted. you might also find
the same behaviour if you have MAPROM enabled on the card.
does "shutdown -r" have the same effect too?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes, i use BlizKick. But it should detect if RESBUF is corrupted,
otherwise it couldn't be started at all. And, of course, MapROM
is enabled, BlizKick requires this AFAIK.
I did not try "shutdown -r", but i think it will produce the same
effect. Even when i press reset button on my tower (it is
linked to motherboard's hardware reset line) while running Linux
i get this damned green screen.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
- Hopefully linux/APUS loader will support BlizKick EXTRES
buffer
soon. This should mean that booting back to AmigaOS would work
even if EXTRESBUF was used.
I dont think this was ever done - as the kernel space goes
over this area.
the issue is that blizkick looks to see if its run by a
simple method iirc... i thought a force option was added...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
So, as i understand, BlizKick installs some flag somewhere to
signal itself that EXTRESBUF is installed, doesn't it?
If so, why just not to destroy this flag on Linux startup? In
this case BlizKick would re-install itself from scratch.

yes, thought so: from the Blizkick readme...
