I watched steve-dallas panic with an ecc/memory parity error.
It proceeded to dump, and I stopped paying attention.
I looked back a few minutes later and found it's screen black and
the green light on. This is a poor state of affairs -- machines should
automagically reboot after they panic, they should not sit and hang.
I had to press the round button to shut the machine down and once
again to bring it up.
"printenv" from the monitor indicates that "autoboot" is indeed enabled.
Is this normal behavior?
