I just posted a discussion on this same problem with the i810 boards. Welcome to the wonderful world of low-end Intel hardware... There seems to be no solution for the i810, probably not for the i815 either. Since there are no APM options in my BIOS configuration utility, I suspect the board only supports ACPI... Wait for 5.0 to be released. I didn't know about boot -c... worth a try.
