SubjectFlashing keyboard LEDS upon boot.

Sometimes, when booting Linux-2.3.24 from bzImage, machines
display "Uncompressing Linux ..., Ok. Booting the kernel."
Then the machine just sits there with the keyboard LEDS
(Num-Lock, Caps-lock, and Scroll-lock) flashing at about
a 1-second interval. It will do this "forever".

Can anybody tell me what it has found "wrong" that prevents
it from continuing the boot? A whole bunch of new Dell Computers
display this problem. The second boot will always work, but
the first cold-start boot will often result in this problem.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
