gentoo 1.4 with gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r6 on a tyan with 2 athlon mp

it seams that during init process the machiane go to sleep. I press the "any
key" and it wake up ... for 3, 4 seconds only ... it go sleeping again, I
press again the "any key" and it wake up again ...

what does it mean?
my worst kernel config?

thanks in advance

Maybe this is an ACPI issue?
Try disabling APM, ACPI - all power saving

if that doesn't help, try building a very basic kernel that's just enough for booting the system, then add functionality and reboot until you hit the bug again

i've just disabled any AMP and ACPI feature ... nothing has chanced.

have you tried vanilla-kernel? gentoo-kernel has many patches that can cause problems.

I have not tryed the vanilla, but the gentoo-r2 doesn't have this problem.

Strange, but I guess the gentoo-kernels are still tweaked too much. I stopped using them some time ago.
