Re: [gentoo-user] Computer Reboots Instantly

[Leonid Podolny]

Throw away all the luxury options (like apic,acpi and so on), compile all the unknown options in. I've had some weird problem with my NIC, so I did as I mentioned above, and it worked. Afterwards, I succeeded to locate the problem -- apic support.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Zachary P.

When I booted up the gentoo install cd on my computer, it booted fine. I installed everything, recompiled a new kernel, and rebooted.  The boot loader loads up, but as soon as it tries to load the kernel, the computer reboots.  Then I tried having grub use the install cd's kernel but with my root filesystem, and that booted just fine. My question is, what type of kernel options could make the computer reboot before anything at all is displayed?  The only think I could think of is the optimization settings (but I think that would just lock it up) so I set those to 386 and it still happened.  I would just try a hit and miss type approach while playing around with options, but it is a slower machine and takes a while to compile the kernel. -- Zachary P.
