Re: [cobalt-users] [Raq3] Fix to Kernel Update 4.0.1 if it put your box into a continual reboot

[Jim Popovitch <jimpop@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recently had the OS on a RaQ3 reinstalled.  I then applied all the
patches, including the latest kernel.

rpm -qa | grep kernel shows:

  kernel-headers-2.2.16C24_III-1
  kernel-2.2.16C24_III-1

Everything works great.  Since your machine is continually rebooting,
is it possible that /etc/inittab has the runlevel set to 6? :)
