Would somebody please check this out. When changing > 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.
