or compile in the LOVELY magic sysrq into your kernel, and discover
the joys of:
(yeah - I know you only need ctrl *OR* alt, but I can never remember which
one, so I just use both)
ctrl-alt-sysrq-s (sync all disks)
ctrl-alt-sysrq-u (unmount all disks)
ctrl-alt-sysrq-b (reboot)
those keys work for me about 99% of the time (even when the rest of the
system is crashed) - and only requires a fsck about 1 time in 20 for me :)
lovely thing (although I rarely have to use it (unless it's user error
like trying to run enlightenment and netscape with no swap))
