[OT] hardware failure

[Nori Heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

My computer has been on a downward spiral for a while now[1], but i've
been too busy to deal with it.  Now it won't even go into single-user
mode.  It just hangs at the boot prompt.  Says, "Loading linux ...."
and then prints anywhere from one to ten .'s before hanging.

It's not the hard drive -- I replaced it and did a clean install.

It's not the memory -- I have new 256M in there.

The motherboard??  I'm clueless.

Thanks,
