I have experienced a similar issue on h-s .38-r1 while the .37 kernel
works. I get past grub screen but I then get a blank screen and the
computer reboot a few seconds later. Due to time constraints I haven't
tried anything to solve it except trying to redo "make oldconfig" with
the .37 config. I didn't see any difference between the configs that,
to my humble knowledge, could cause this.
