server reboot loop

[Frank Swasey]

I hate to respond to my own query... but ...

The solution (found at
http://paradigma.pt/ja/slog/index.php/2006/08/ubuntu-server-606-lts-doesnt-boot-if-cpu-686.html)

is to boot with the server install CD
- use rescue mode
- once you get to the console for the / partition
- apt-get install linux-386
- apt-get remove linux-server

then reboot... all better
