19 I have experienced a similar issue on h-s .38-r1 while the .37 kernel
20 works. I get past grub screen but I then get a blank screen and the
21 computer reboot a few seconds later. Due to time constraints I haven't
22 tried anything to solve it except trying to redo "make oldconfig" with
23 the .37 config. I didn't see any difference between the configs that,
24 to my humble knowledge, could cause this.
