I upgraded to 2.0.25 then to 2.0.27 and now the system reboots on every
floppy drive access (mount /dev/fd0, mdir, mcopy) with both versions. It
also reboots sometimes randomly. I got no error message/syslog at all.
I also get oopses (I will send on request), sometimes in infinite loop,
cannot kill/reboot/shutdown; there's no syslog because of the infinite
loop (I think).
My machine is a 486DLC40, 8 M, 2*IDE HDD, Trident VGA, WD8013, no sound,
no SCSI, no SLIP/PPP etc.
It worked without any errors on 2.0.18.
