When 2.4.0test10 bootup, i got the "Loading" message, then "Uncompressing

kernel...", i can see quickly "Booting.....", and it does it: it reboots.

My last kernel was 2.4.0test7, and was not exibiting the problem. I've

recheck my .config, but it's the same as for 2.4.0test7.

My gcc:

[root@Djinn linux]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.95.2/specs gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
[root@Djinn linux]#

according to Changes may be good.

The laptop is a 486dx2@40 compaq contura 400cx, two thing that may be

important: it has early cpuid support(many changes occured in this

area recently), and it doesn't have any PCI bus(but kernel is compiled

with it, in order to have Card drivers).
