After installation of Slackware 9.0 with hotplug enabled
system reboots in couple of seconds after booting %)

Intel 845G chipset(82801DB/DBM USB, Ultra ATA, etc.)
with Celeron 2GHz CPU

Disabling hotplug enbales systrem to boot and work

Is there any fixes or something to do with?

It's a cruel BUG - many newbies are giving up seeing
system to reboot after just booting without a word
saying "See, this buggy Linux is NOT working!!!"

In better case they are moving to RedHat

This has been discussed many times, if can keep the system up long enough,
check dmesg output. from a shell type "dmesg" no quotes and see if you see
any weird module messages/hotplug message and you've caught whatever is
causing your system to booger up. just add that module to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist and you're good to go.

So which driver was crashing? You'll see it as the last entry in your
/var/log/syslog or messages before the no-hotplug reboot. "/sbin/lspci"
might give some clues as well.

echo $BadDriverName >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist

It's true that when newbies encounter booting problems, they have a hard
time understanding what's happening and why. It happened to me. If I had
been content to remain ignorant, I would have given up, saying "See,
this buggy Linux is NOT working!"

I persisted.

As it turns out, my non-standard hardware was causing the crash, and
when I swapped it for something less unusual, my Linux booted fine. I
later learned that I could have used a different kernel to boot that
hardware.

.... where they will encounter the same problem. Please try installing
Red Hat 9.0 on the same machine, and report your results back to us.

See you should have got an AMD, Intel isn't capatible...

j/k roflmao... thinking back to comments made by some people.

This has been answered a thousand time in this n.g.
Its the i810-tco driver that triggers your motherboard to REBOOT
your pc. (i810-tco is a hardware watchdog on your motherboard)

Its actually a problem with the motherboards that automatically start the
timer, when it shouldn't.. (well maybe its a problem with the i810-tco
driver too)

> Is there any fixes or something to do with?

yes,
echo i810-tco >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist
I guess this should become te default in Slack, people that need watchdogs
will now what to do.

The difference between theory and practice, is that in
theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
