I have an old HP Omnibook 6100 (P3-1000, 256 MB RAM) that I put TinyCore v 2.2 on. The problem is that it often (strangely not always) powers off during boot up. It doesn't happen at the same point in the process, and sometimes the bootup goes OK. I haven't been able to detect a rhyme or reason to this odd behavior. I've tried other distros (SystemRescue, Ubuntu) to make sure it isn't the machine. They boot up fine. I've also tried disabling all the power management options in the BIOS, and have fiddled with various boot flags, all to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this, and what did you do to fix it? I hate to have to keep hitting the power switch a dozen times just to use this thing!
