This is with a 486DX2-50, IDE, OPTI chipset, AMI BIOS, 16Mb Ram, and a Conner CP3544. On a friends machine, a 486DX-33 ISA, IDE, AMI BIOS, 8MB Ram, we had this problem of constant rebooting after we applied patches and things. At first we disabled the internal processor cache, and then all was well. Thinking this a bit odd, we tried reenabling it and then lowering the ISA bus speed. All now works well. Time dependant stuff in one of the patches perhaps?
