operating systems, you need a cold-boot.

No, it does not. I know that my desktop PC reboots with a beep (and shows CPU information) from Linux - and it does not beep when rebooting from Windows 98. Some BIOSes don't like when some devices are in some state. One example is my DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook - when rebooted from Linux, it hangs during POST - the fix was to add setpci <someting> to shutdown scripts to zero-out some cardbus controller registers.


Did you report it to lkml and/or dirver maintainer?

Not yet. I haven't tried any kernel newer than 2.6.8.1 (because of the monitor mode patch for orinoco wifi card) so I don't know if the problem is still there. Also Linux does not like APM on this notebook. But I don't have free time to play with thing like these...
