Now when my linux machine boots, it gets so far into the bootup sequence and then decides to reset itself (or hang) just after the hard disk partition check.
I have a similar wierdness occasionally (RH 5.2) where my machine reboots during a startup. It may be my imagination but it seems to happen when the machine is cold (ie. after a night off in a cold room). I use loadlin to boot from DOS so I just leave it on the DOS config.sys menu for a couple of minutes and then it seems to boot OK.
This is probably no help but I thought that I would mention it.

PS I live in Mendham on the Suffolk/Norfolk border so Syleham suits me well for a meeting.
