Just thought I would add my voice to Nhut's:
My 486/33 does exactly the same thing. I didn't know that I could
boot at a lower speed, is that A BIOS option? (Not that it
would be a real solution anyway)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
BTW up to now Linux has been great! X works ( for the most part )
Many thanks due to Linus and Orst!!!!
