I'm glad to see that others have problems with the 2.6.10 too :)
Seriously, the first 2.6.10 deb worked fine for me, but the latest deb reboots
just after SATA detection.

No. I've looked at the Changelog but could not find anything useful. I also
tried to recompile the kernel using the .config from the latest 2.6.10 deb,
but that kernel did not even boot at all... though I think that was caused by
my imcompetence, and usage of the wrong kernel build command.
Anyway, I've been too busy to explore this... what's the easiest way to get
debug information on the kernel boot? Does the dmesg of failed boots get
cached somewhere? Or do you have to retype is on another machine... which is
impossible if the machine reboots during a failing boot ofcourse :(
BTW, my MB is a Tyan K8W S2885 (yes, I've seen the thread earlier today...)
