As far as i know the problem verifies with each version of the 2.4 kernel, and i think that it is an hardware problem. I'm not able to trace the operations because part of the startup code is in assembly. The cpu is a Pentium Celeron 166 with 32Mb of RAM. If you can address me about what may cause the problem i can be more detailed about that. Any hint will be appreciated -John
