how do these advices help when the system is already so broken that it cannot reboot
without help of sysrq or ctrl+alt+del combo?
If it is a remote system you really should look into IPMI. If the
system is really broken you really can't depend on ctrl-alt-del, SysRq
or anything else to remaining working. Tell IPMI to toggle reset and
hope the bootloader is still working, if it isn't repeat and boot rescue
media from CD/USB, etc.
