i had the same problem after trying to boot a custom kernel on 2 "clone" laptops and 1 dell dimension (xps t600r). however, my sony picturebook doesn't crap out. (so i guess i've got inferior h/w; i've learned to quit buying clones and stick with brand names, other than dell.) sorry i can't help. bentley taylor. // >
