OK, I'll bite - how can the kernel go into a reboot loop that doesn't get to the
grub menu?  (Hint: How does your system get from the BIOS splash screen to
starting the kernel? :)

(Though I've seen kernels that flash the screen like they're rebooting but 
they're
actually hung in a loop, and I've heard some great bar stories about kexec/kdump
gone horribly astray and re-invoking the current kernel rather than the kexec 
target
kernel....)
