I have been compiling kernels on all the machines I have access to the last 4 days and I still havn't been able to reproduce the problem. Please every body that has the problem, take time to examine and answer as many as possible of these questions: 1. Do you see any output on the screen at all before the reboot ? 2. Does the precense/absence of "options DDB" change it ? 3. Does the precense/absence of "options BOUNCE_BUFFER" change it ? 4. how much ram do you have ? 5. what cpu do you have 6. which "cpu" lines do you have active ? ("I386_CPU" .. "I686_CPU") 7. With DDB, can you boot -d ? 8. How old are your bootblocks approx ? 9. try this patch to locore.s: Index: locore.s =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/i386/locore.s,v retrieving revision 1.70 diff -u -r1.70 locore.s --- locore.s 1996/05/02 22:24:55 1.70 +++ locore.s 1996/05/08 21:57:30 @@ -216,6 +216,7 @@ * to set %cs, %ds, %es and %ss. */ mov %ds, %ax + mov %ax, %es mov %ax, %fs mov %ax, %gs 10. which console driver do you use ? syscons or pcvt ? 11.
