I tried this and it does something.  The power switch light starts 
flashing, but pushing it does not restart the system.  Holding it down 
for a minute does not result in a cold boot.  So far, I have had to pull 
the power and battery to reset stuff so it would boot.  I looked in 
/var/log/messages, and don't know what to look for to see whsat is 
happening....
