Hi there,
Kernel has a problem mounting root, but it reboots before I can read
the message. Of course nothing gets logged so I cannot see exactly
why the kernel wants to reboot.
Can I stop kernel doing an automatic reboot? How?
It's version 2.6.33.5, .4 has same behaviour. Filesystem is Reiserfs,
Intel ICH9R with Core2Duo, .config is on:
http://bugsplatter.id.au/kernel/boxen/pooh64/config-2.6.33.5a.gz
which worked fine on slackware64-13.0, has this behaviour on slack-
ware64-13.1. Because I cannot read the screen before reboot, no idea
where to look next, or what is actually happening.
Thanks,
Grant.

Maybe try CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY to see the message?

That's one option.
Can you alter the kernel command line (boot options)?
like add: initcall_debug debug ignore_loglevel pause_on_oops=30
Sounds like it would also be good to have something like:
reboot=hang|spin
(TBD)
