with all this talk on the list about epia.. does anyone knwo off hand how to change this "wait 4 seconds reboot" to instantenous reboot when I press the on button?
you mean machine is on, and you want it to cycle real fast?
yeah. When I was looking over sis chipset docs I saw that you could setup a pci register to toggle this setting between AT-style press-reset and ATX-style 4 second delay reset
however, lokoing over vt82c686 docs seems like there's no corresponding capability :-(
we need to figure out how to trap the power button even to linux. Normally it is caught by the fuctory bios, but we don't have one in there. It makes most sense to have the OS catch that sort of thing anyway.
it was just meant to be quick hack... beats holding button for 4 seconds when board crashes, or pulling the power plug..
