When I start X, usually within a few seconds to a couple of minutes the system falls over, but unfortauntely it doesn't leave me at the kernel debugger and doesn't do a kernel dump for some reason or other, it just goes back to the BIOS and reboots. Can anyone donate a clue to me for what I need to do to find out what's going wrong? I'm using the amd64 compilation, if that makes any difference, and I've had the same problems with both the generic configuration as well as my customised one. I've experienced one or two other panics when not using X, but I was left in the debugger on those occasions so I don't know if they're related or not (I saved the kernel dump from one of them but have since overwritten the kernel, so it's probably not terribly helpful; not doing too well so far, am I!) Cheers, Chris.
