How to stop kernel rebooting during startup?

[Grant Coady]

Hi there,

Kernel has a problem mounting root, but it reboots before I can read 
the message.  Of course nothing gets logged so I cannot see exactly 
why the kernel wants to reboot.

Can I stop kernel doing an automatic reboot?  How?  

It's version 2.6.33.5, .4 has same behaviour.  Filesystem is Reiserfs, 
Intel ICH9R with Core2Duo, .config is on: 

  http://bugsplatter.id.au/kernel/boxen/pooh64/config-2.6.33.5a.gz

which worked fine on slackware64-13.0, has this behaviour on slack-
ware64-13.1.  Because I cannot read the screen before reboot, no idea 
where to look next, or what is actually happening.

Thanks,
Grant.
