	The machine on which I am composing this has a different
motherboard (ASrock AOD290GX) but the same NorthBridge and
integrated graphics.
	Works fine.
	(Except for one teeny thing, which I'm hoping is due to a bad
BIOS setting.
	Symptom:
	"shutdown -p now" works as expected.
	"shutdown -r now" ... tha machine shuts down but does not
restart.  No screen messages, no nothing - just a one-way trip into
the Twilight Zone.
	A teeny problem, since ot pnly gets rebooted
on kernel upgrade.)
