right after the other, exactly the same configuration for both.  GCC2
boots without problems, GCC3 produces the restart bug on my system.
OK, so our top priority becomes finding out why a GCC 3 made loader is 
going
tits up.
see my other posting some days ago. I don't think this hex stuff comes 
from loader, it more seems like boot2. I had this problem too on 
virtualpc/gcc3, but i don't have much time to look into that. but i'll 
be happy to run+try patches/debug stuff.

maybe we should start comparing assembly of boot2 done with gcc2 and 
gcc3 (mbr/boot0/boot1 are assembly source anyways) and then move to 
loader (ficl being [maybe] a problem here)
