All right, well, apparently I can get it to boot if I unload the kernel, then boot kernel.GENERIC, which I guess would indicate it's something to do with my reconfiguration of the kernel. But that wouldn't explain why it did the same thing the times when I didn't even have the kernel sources installed yet, or had even logged into the system for the first time...Strange. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike" <mib812@home.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 10:01 PM Subject: Random Rebooting > For some reason whenever I install 4.2-release on my laptop, it will work > for a varying amount of time, then when I go to boot it'll just wig out and > reboot.
