Summary:                    (in v1.2.1) reboot no longer works
Description: 
the reboot command no longer works (does nothing)

reboot -f (bypasses init) still works though

I am convinced that doing reboot thru init is sheer insanity. It is
prfectly possible to reboot machine using just a shell script with
umounts, kills, and sync. I do it for many years.

It means that you need to analyze reboot problem in much more detail (to
diff -u stage is best). Sorry.

Same problem here, looks like there is something wrong with the
sig-handler?

I tried different signals on init via `kill` without any reaction.
Anyway `reboot -f` works as mentioned in an earlier post.

I'm using a uclibc based system.

I also played a bit with strace and kill, looks like signaling works.

Just tested. Both reboot and "kill -TERM 1" work.
