Same behavior here, as I reported some days ago on this same list (with no
response). 2.2.19 halts nearly always on boot, just before "Uncompressing
linux...". 2.2.18 reboots at the same point in the boot process, but the
system ends up booting about 10-20% of the times. I've had no problems with
Debian Potato's 2.2.17 kernel version.

However, booting any of the above kernels from a floppy works fine 100% of
times. So I wonder if this could be a problem with my hard disk's cache or
something related. I've observed that the "Loading linux" progress
indicator is much faster with kernels that give problems than with kernels
that don't.
