Hi All, I've just attempted to get the 2.4.6 kernel working on my 2 CPU DS20 Alphaserver. It compiled, which was an advance on 2.4.5, but every 2.4 kernel that I've tried, I always get the same error. The boot process stops with:
Trace: 81001c Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill idle task! In idle task - not syncing If I disable SMP I can get a kernel to boot. I've tried both the default debian, and the new gcc-3.0 compiler with the same result. Can anybody help? Thanks, Edgar.
