yesterday, i installed Mandrake 7.2 in my system. My system configuration
is i810, 10GB HDD, 96MB RAM...The installation went smoothly and even the
lilo boot came. But, when i try to boot in to Linux, it gets stuck...
the last messages are as follows:

........
........
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing
........

the partitions of Harddisk are as follows:

hda1    4000MB              win95 FAT32
hda2    25MB        /boot   Linux native
hda5    3000MB      /       Linux native
hda6    1000MB      /home   Linux native
hda7    200MB               Linux swap


I tried to install again 2-3 times. but, i am getting the same problem
with booting.

Why is it not booting properly? Is it due to partitions or something else?
Please help me to overcome this problem.

thanks in advance...
