MessageIf the ipaq is in suspended mode and I dock it or hook it to power, the unit won't come on. I *have* to hit the hidden reset switch. But, then the bootloader pops up for a split second before a FRESH copy of CE starts up. To prevent it, I have to remember to power it up before applying external power. Last night, I had to restore my system from MMC backup twice because of this glitch. Is there a way to prevent the bootloader from frying my data unless I hold the action key while resetting? I'm assuming this is a bug.

Btw, I have bootldr-2.18.48 installed on a H3835 with a dual PCMCIA sleeve.
