Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:20:54 +1000 Organization: scattered Message-ID: X-Mailer: Forte Agent 6.00/32.1186 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 872 Lines: 24 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.
