init and reboot

[Lei Sun]

My latest find is that

reboot -f   cause kernel ooops

Restarting systemsteMachine check in kernel mode.
Caused by (from SRR1=41000): Transfer error ack signal
Oops: machine check, sig: 7
.....

reboot without any argument still does nothing.  Which piece of code i
should look into ?

Thanks
