Let me start at the begining - I burned the rc1 cd netinstall candidate
for sarge on 6/21/04, installed it, and everything was good for 2
months.  Last friday, I was trying to fix the libpng vulnerability, and
in the process of installing aptitude, my apt-get replaced my libgcc1
and some other stuff.  This broke gcc.  Some friends said it was most
likely just a broken dependency somewhere, so I did a dist-upgrade to
get everything back in sync.  This fixed my gcc, but the dist-upgrade
also took the liberty of installing a new kernel, which is,
unfortunately, completely unstable.  Like, it reboots every 20 seconds.

To be 100% sure this problem was real, I just burned the rc1 cd
netinstall candidate from debian.org today and re-installed from
scratch.  The install couldn't even finish because as soon as it
rebooted wtih this new kernel, it crashed 20 seconds later.  I'm on a
Dell Dimension 2350.  What is going on here?  I have never had this kind
of problem from debian before.  How far away is sarge from going stable?
