Is this the correct summary of the problem
scenarios.
Assume each one starts from cold boot (power off).

* 2.6.13(skge) boot                    => Good
* 2.6.13(sk98lin) boot                 => Good
* 2.6.13 + SK version of sk98lin       => Good
* XP boot => Good
XP boot: No good if before 2.6.13 runs on the hardware
and do the normal shuttdown or reboot or power off.

The same for all linux kernel before 2.6.13 (tested
2.6.12, 2.6.11)
It's worth noting that most PCs today with ATX power supplies really only go into a "Soft Off" state, which is probably why the anomaly persists across a power off. You should also test if powering off and removing the power plug will allow booting to XP to work.
