I've been watching this thread, and I think you might be facing a
hardware problem there. If the machine goes for reboot and gets to the
keyboard flash and nothing else, then you aren't into the software
yet. Does powerup from a cold box cause intermittent problems like
this too?

Hmm. I rarely shut-down the box unless there's a problem. I seem to
recall that it sometimes doesn't "catch" the first time I boot from
off. Definitely didn't notice a problem with that until recently, but,.
as I say, I keep my box on all the time. I've been doing some reading
and found out why it didn't always catch when I switched off then on...
needs a couple of seconds before it recognises a change in the button,
apparently. I did have a hard-drive die on me and a CDROM that refused
to work. Fortunately there was nothing much on the hard-drive. I
changed from "nv" to the nVidia driver to get 3D acceleration working.
Those are the only things I can think oif that I've changed in the last
couple of months or so...
What do you suspect?
