That's encouraging--I assumed it was a hardware issue because it does
other weird things, like randomly panicking on boot because it can't
find the hard disk (don't remember the exact wording--I just reboot
when it happens), or randomly appearing to power on but not getting to
a POST never mind booting (the LEDs turn on, but the screen stays
black and there's no apparent hard drive activity).  I paid for Dell's
idiot insurance, so I should probably talk to tech support, but my
list of things to do is long and the machine usually works, even if it
takes a couple of boots.

I'm a bit of a Gentoo fanboy (*boo hiss*).  Here's the output of uname -a:
