My Intel Orion (quad P6) does this. But I notice that on a normal cold boot, it pops thru the POST and jumps into the buslogic bios to do the normal SCSI stuff. On a warm reboot, just where it would jump to the BUSLOGIC stuff, the screen 'blinks' ever so slightly and it hangs. I had written this off as a buslogic issue. My quad xeon never does this.
But maybe it isn't a buslogic 'thing' at all...
