Might be a keyboard problem.  I have a screwy 106-key Jap keyboard here
that requires a power-off reset, or it won't work.  If I do a warm boot or
even use the reset switch, the bios claims there's no keyboard there.

Anyhow, you shouldn't need to do any unattended reboots.  If you need to
reboot it, you could just tell me, since I'll be right here at PHT with it
:)  What error(s) is it spewing, anyway?  I have some compaq experience.
