I was browsing the net and I've noticed that a lot of people are getting similar error and a lot of them mentioned SCSI drive. I happened with back to kernel 2.4 and 1999 year so it could be related to SCSI driver, not sure about it. I've taken the cover off to allow more air into the box (most of my other boxes run without any covers). If I still get that error: Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interupt handler. I'll buy an IDE drive and put this SATA drive on a shelve, and see if will make a difference. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
