I am able to login as root (sh) in single user mode, but login as root on=
 a=20
normal boot dies (starting tcsh from single user mode traps too).

There is a file /boot/kernel/kernel.debug but when I do the gdb command (=
the=20
l) it gives an error about no symbols, use the file command.  I did:
cd /boot/kernek
gdb -k kernel.debug
(in gdb)
l *0xc031f044

sorry if this is a stupid mistake on my part.

Secondly, I'm able to boot ok from the debug kernel.  I did "boot DEBUG" =
and I=20
can then login as my user (tcsh) ok and can run X successfully.  I imagin=
e I=20
can recompile the kernel, would this be useful? (disabling PSE or the PGE=
=20
options?)
