Linux kernel panic oddities

[ #9211 ]
I think I mentioned my kernel panic problems in a previous entry. I *think* I have discovered a very strange quirk:

But, if I boot into *Windows* first, then restart and boot into Linux, it works. Oh, and it has to be Windows first from a cold boot. If I try to boot into Linux (and fail), then Windows, and back to Linux again it doesn't work.

First I need to start Linux and stay there for a while, like starting X, the browser...till, I suspect, the machine reaches a certain temperature. I have no other explanation why I need to spend at least 30 min before I can boot Windows.

    Isn't this a standard feature?

    Hmm. Your hardware knows the punishment it's about to receive, and need to be stroked before venturing into the aby
