Reboots after 9.1 update

[Soapm]

Got my 9.1 update last night. I ran slicer and followed the script which took about 20 minutes and it rebooted (I think before slicer finished) then had a screen that said it may be hours so I went to bed. Now it looks like I am rebooting about every 5 to 10 minutes. Where would I look to see what's causing the reboots?

Most of my hacks are still working. I can Telnet, FTP but TWP is not working. I can rehack that but wanted to solve the reboot problem first.

There was a question during slicer that asked me about usb backport drivers. I selected no since I don't use wireless internet adapter. Not sure if there might be a conflict between the kernel and the usb drivers but thought I would add this info just in case.

I also attached a screenshot from my telnet session so you can see how far slicer got before my maching rebooted itself.

I think there may be a support thread over at TCF too.

In general, the best debugging tool for debugging reboot loops is the serial console output. Lacking that, all the logs from /var/log.

If you want to verify that, try booting without any usb dongle attached. If that stops the reboot loop, that is an indicator that the issue is network related.
