I think I've found the problem -- my mobo supports Intel MMX chips, but the manual doesn't actually mention the K6 which, I think, it predates.
The BIOS, however, can correctly identify the CPU, so everything thinks it's OK. I will swap mobos for a TX which definitely copes with the K6 and see what happens...
As an aside, the reason that I can now use this TX board is Alessandro Staltari's fix which forces the keyboard the be initialised at boot time, and fixes the reboot thing.
Perhaps there should be a "force keyboard initialisation" config option?
Matthew.
