I just compiled 2.0.33. (I had been using 2.1.90 and that worked fine, and I booted each of 2.1.54, 2.1.65, 2.1.72, and 2.1.86 earlier today without incident). 2.0.33 reboot immediately, several times. I recompiled it with --zimage and it worked immediately. I didn't compile 2.1.90 like that though, so it's probably coincidental. I seem to be about the only one having this problem on a desktop machine. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
