It reboots as soon as it starts to boot the kernel. I can't get into the system at all. And no it's not easy especially when you can't see anything...... > > It sounds like you have some seriously b0rked hardware. I would start swapping memory/cpu/drives/mobo and so forth to see if this problem follows any particular component.
