 The same happens to me, exactly at the same point.

Could it be that the hardware clock has a lot of drift, and when it 
gets adjusted by the bootscript, somehow the hangcheck timer thinks 
the machine is hanging, and auto-reboots?  To verify this, either 
adapt the clock script and comment out the line that does hwclock 
adjust, or disable hangcheck in the kernel.

Alternatively, could it be a bootscript error?  What version of 
baselayout are you running?

Hmm, see also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104139.

I have been experiencing this problem for a while, but I
did not have the time to try to solve it yet.

In my case, I have an Athlon64, and most of the time,
the first boot attempt stops near the time the clock
service is run. Then the machine reboots itself, and
the boot process succeeds.

If I am not wrong, this behaviour started just
after the kernel was updated to the 2.6.13 version.

Me too.  I have to double check, but I also believe it happens when it
is going to sync the clocks.  I am using 2.6.13.  It might have
started happening when I began to use this kernel, though I didn't
keep good notes on that.

Thanks for any ideas,
