Re: [BProc] Qn: Slave reboot due to monte protected mode

[Peter E. <Pet...@un...>]

Hi,

I've seen this on broken systems, that is with faulty power supply
or bad condensators on the main board, etc. To figure out if this
is the case, I suggest to boot some stand-alone linux on it
(knoppix or some boot floppy) and do some heavy disk i/o (e.g.
find) and memory test. 

You may also try some boot options with the CM boot kernel to turn off
apm or use less memory.  Another possible reason may be that your
kernel didn't fit on the floppy and this is why it crashes.

Best, Peter.
