Something that is likely related, I am seeing reboot failures in

This is with -smp 2, rebooting Fedora 9 after installation.
With gpxe disabled, rebooting works as expected.
Note the tests were performed with the stack at 64K to avoid

Hi Avi,
Can you send the full qemu command line that you used? I can't seem
to reproduce this on my setup.
I do see an issue if SeaBIOS's reboot vector is called (eg, by using
"sendkey ctrl-alt-delete" while still in the bios) because seabios
allows gpxe to modify itself, and on a seabios only reboot the gpxe
rom isn't recopied and gpxe therefore gets confused. However, on a
linux invoked reboot, it looks like a full machine reset occurs and
qemu recopies the gpxe rom, so that doesn't seem to be an issue.
