I've been using Mandrake Cooker since about 2 months before Mandrake 8.2
beta 1.  Everything was going well until around early patchlevels of
kernel 2.4.17 mdk.  When I reboot from those kernels, my notebook
computer is stuck forever at the BIOS screen with the hard drive light
stuck on.  Only thing I can do is force a powerdown.  I have noticed at
least one other user mentioning this symptom on MandrakeExpert.

The following kernels exhibit this same behavior.
kernel-2.4.17.19mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-linus2.4-2.4.18-1mdk
kernel-2.4.18.3mdk-1-1mdk

This old kernel from MDK 8.1 updates reboots fine:
kernel-2.4.8-34.1mdk

This regression occured sometime during early 2.4.17mdk patchlevels.  Is
there anywhere I can download all of these Cooker kernel RPM's to do
testing again in order to find exactly when this bug was introduced?

Thank you for your time,
Warren Togami
