Power supply can't provide enough juice to get started. I should seriously consider replacing that power supply with something with 50w or 100w more maximum output to get around that. Replacing the power supply will also make the components last longer: I've seen machines give up the ghost from trying to power on with too little juice too many times. I have a feeling your situation has more to do with a hardware addition that happened or an aging power supply rather than a kernel upgrade. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
