?? How not clear ??
I showed the sections of /var/log/sys.log where sysklogd was
restarting (rebooting)
for various kernels. All kernels were made the same way.

tar -xf linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.27
make mrproper
cp -v /boot/oldconfig-2.6.27 .config
make
make modules_install
cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/lfskernel-2.6.27
cp -v System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.27
cp -v .config /boot/config-2.6.27

In fact, I spent a lot of time compiling kernels to confirm that the problem
does not begin before linux-2.6.27. The problem continues through every kernel
up through 2.6.31.5.

If need more info, please ask.
