Windows 98SE continually reboots the machine after running Red Hat Linux 
7.0.  If the system is shut off, windows will start normally.

This is a BIOS or windows bug. The BIOS restores the hardware to a hopefully
sane state , the OS has to deal with any vaguely sane state it gets handed.  I
can't think of any obvious things that might be going on here to suggest a way
to avoid this.
