Description of problem:
RedHat Linux Beta Severn 1 is unable to perform a reboot on system with ECS
P6VEM3 (with integrated VIA C3 Samuel2 CPU) motherboard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install/upgrade RH B1 Severn on a system with ECS P6VEM3 motherboard;
2. Try to reboot the box;

    
Actual results:
System will just hang after "Rebooting the system." message.

Additional info:
Strangely when to issue a poweroff, it will power the system off.
Also, I tried to enable/disable APM and/or ACPI in BIOS but no changes.
