Subject: 2.6 kernel won't reboot on AMD system

Before you hit 'reply', no, I'm not talking about the machine not
getting past the BIOS check complaining that there is no keyboard present.
Kernel 2.6.7
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
motherboard: http://www.ecsusa.com/products/km400-m2.html
... not sure what else might be useful... apci=off added to boot
options. Preemptive kernel.
In any case, the machine in question does not reboot. I traced the
problem down to the mach_reboot but it doesn't get past those assembly
instructions. Things do seem to work alright if a keyboard is
installed. Otherwise, the machine just sits there, no longer responsive
to pings or anything else.
This appears to be a somewhat common problem, as I found several other
posters discussing it:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108868695814658&w=2
any ideas on what parts of the kernel to look at in order to determine
what is causing this?
Thankyou,
