package: sarge-netinst
version: i386-20040811

Hi,
After the first reboot of the install (so running the kernel installed
on the hard disk rather than CD) the machine will reboot after about 4
minutes. This happens if I leave it in the initial state without
pressing anything or work through the configuration options.  The kernel
version is 2.4.26-1-386.  The problem disappears if debian is installed
with option linux26 rather than default 2.4 install.  This problem also
existed on an old sarge CD I had laying around (about 3 months old).

As I felt this was a hardware problem I tried on a second identical
machine - it repeated exactly the same behaviour so I guess it isn't. 
The hardware in these machines are:

2.8 Ghz P4 HT with 800FSB 
Abit IS7-E2 motherboard (latest version of bios 1.3)
Seagate 80GB barracuda SATA drive (sda)
Iomega zip 100 drive (hdc)
Sony CD-RW/DVD combo (hda)
1 Gig of Crucial.com RAM PC3200
Abit Siluro 5200, 128 MB graphics card
Floppy drive with built in card reader (card reader USB)

I'm fairly sure this will come down to the motherboard as other machines
I have tested it on have an identical processor, hard drive and CD
drive.  I have disabled all USB and the zip drives/devices in the bios
to try and remove possible causes.  I have also disabled the CD drive
after the base install however it still reboots.

There are no entries in /var/log/messages to suggest what goes on and no
messages flash on the screen as it dies.

Thanks,

Richard du Feu

This matches the behavior described in the rc1 errata. A bug in hotplug
causes it to not skip loading kernel watchdog drivers, that then reboot
the machine. This only manifests with the 2.4 kernel.
