Tyan S2462 reboot problems

Hercules 4500 (Kyro II). I run the Vesa drivers, as I don't run any of the distro's that have beta drivers, and I do have video corruption occasionally, but not very often (and never in Windows).

What display adapter are you using? BIOS's earlier than 1.04 screwed up
royally with ATI Radeon 8500/7500 cards - actually, so does 1.04, but not as much. I've also noticed that Radeon + Adaptec 39160 corrupts video where without the Adaptec it doesn't. Strange.>

I have a Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462UNG). I run with the onboard video jumpered to off and a ATI Radeon 7500 AGP in the AGP slot. Windows and FreeBSD install, run, reboot, and shutdown just fine. Linux will install and run fine, but then when it reboots the screen hangs (no new output -- the last words on the screen are "Rebooting now." or something similar) and then the hd activity light on my case comes on solid for the ECC test of the RAM even though the screen has still not been cleared, then as the post messages come up they are very jumbled, complete video corruption and the corruption does not go away until either Windows or XFree86 loads completely (which ever is currently my default OS). This problem occurs with the RedHat 7.2 (the one on the disc) kernel, the RedHat 7.2.93 kernel, and the gentoo 1.0 kernel. I have not tried any others yet. I run with either no frame buffer at all or if I use one I use the in kernel radeonfb driver, either way the corruption happens. I wouldn't have though twice about Windows being successful at this since it often has odd fixed for odd problems, but the thing that really got me wondering about this is that FreeBSD seems to not have any issues rebooting/halting this machine. Thanks for any information you all might have about what is going on.
