How I fixed the reboot problem at install
I have a AMD K-6 233, and a Biostar motherboard, and everytime I tried to
install Debian Linux, my computer reboots. Well, after a bios update, it
works perfect, so I really recommend a update, its easy and is certainly
not bad to be up to date.

<boot.bat or even redhat's install) his computer reboots after he sees
<a few kernel messages. He has a K6 with one Western Digital ultra DMA
<and one Maxtor ultra DMA. I thought that perhaps the Maxtor hard

<and turn off all the shadowing, but to no avail.
<What are other possible causes of this frustrating problem?
