Yeah I've seen the code in pdc_cons.c, but I didn't know about 
the issues with the stack unwinding (though I just read JDA's
comments in the code... so I'll look at that).

I'll hack on this tonight and see how far I get.
Currently my test box is turned off, and since I haven't
built my remote power switch (spp + solid state relay) ....
I can't reboot the sucker :}

Thanks to the external led I know that the box (712/60) doesn't 
get far since it never reaches the pdc soft power button 
initialization routine (__init power_init).
