Thanks Neil. I use standard x86_64 Intel CPU system with 2.0GB DDRII RAM on a Gigabyte GA-8VM800PMD-775-RH motherboard.
This happens on both Ubuntu and Fedora kernels. And in fact, any kernel 3.1 or above. It's not only very odd, but also very annoying.
I get to the boot screen and when I select ENTER to boot into the system, my screen goes black and then the system reboots. It's definitely a kernel issue as anything (as mentioned already) with kernel 3.0 or below works just fine.
