The reason for getting stuck is primary because LinuxBIOS doesn't
know this is a reset, it thinks it is doing everything for the first
time.  On the last two boards I have ported the supermicro p4dc6 and 
tyan guiness I have included an explict check to do a full board reset
when this condition occurs.  The supermicro p4dc6 is probably a better
example as it has an inte 860 chipset which is related to the 440bx.

The kernel message ``Restarting System.'' indicates that something
deliberately called reboot. (Either a kernel panic with reboot on
panic set or init).  The set of messages coming out of the kernel at
that point is a little limited, and I really don't see any messages
from your user space.
