Just a wild guess... the panic message refers to an interrupt problem.
I've seen plenty of past messages on this list about APIC settings
causing problem, and APIC stands for the "Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller". So I would try messing around with the APIC and LAPIC (Local
APIC) settings, turning them off if they're on or on if they're off and
see if it helps.
I don't think here is any hardware problem because my system works fine
when mndk loads normally, but I found out that when I shut down my
system it doesn't turn off automatically and I have to turn it off
manually from power switch. I am almost sure that in mndk settings there
is somewhere that I can define to turn off computer when I shut the
system down like other linux systems. Also, when I turn it off manually
the unusuall crash occures everytime !!! Does it make sense ? I don't
know !!!
This also points to an APIC problem (or an ACPI problem?). You should be able
to boot in failsafe mode, giving you a text console. You will then need to
use vi to edit /etc.lilo.conf.
vi /etc/lilo.conf
#hit 'i' to put you into insert mode
#go to the main boot stanza and on the append line, inside the quotes, add
NOAPIC NOLAPIC ACPI=OFF
#you will have to experiment with each of these setting, turning them on and
#off, one at at time, as Ron suggests, until you find which settings are
right for your motherboard - it's hardware specific
#when you've done that hit 'Esc' to put you into command mode
#then type
:wq
#and you should be back at your console command.
When you make any changes to lilo.conf it is necessary to run
/sbin/lilo
before the changes take effect.

It crashes even in text mode in failsafe just like before.
