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?

    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.

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

    V1.22beta7:

    - 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...

    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.
