Kernel panic

1999-09-22 Thread shay.meshulam

Hi,
I trying to install RH 6 on PII 500Mhz with 256MB RAM and with Matrox and
3com905-TX cards and 4GB HD
I'm booting from the CD and after the img' files load the system halt and I
got this message:

code : ... ( hexa numbers ) ...
Aiee, killing interrupt handler

kernel panic: attempt to kill the idle task!
in interrupt handler not synching

I try to set default setting to the BIOS and try to set the HD to LBA

some times I get the message:

Linux NET4.0 for LInux 2.2
base upon Swansa University.
unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fa26d9e6 ( and
the address number is changing evry boot)

PLEASE HELP

Shay.

well, ...

the parallel cable was too long ...
putting a shorter cable, made cdrecord -scanbus identify the cdwriter
and not an adaptec scsi disc (nothing to do with the adaptec scsi i
have)

go figure ...

1. Try to remove hardware components (I'd begin with some memory; My first
guess is that one of your memory modules is out of order). The when the kernel
first loads correctly, reattach all the other component (except for the last
component you have removed - this must be the offending hardware piece);
2. This seems like a new computer. Is Linux the only operating system on it?
If there are, do they work correctly?
3.  Make yourself another install disk on another PC (using rawrite) and load
setup with the floppy. There might be a problem with the media you have.
4. Other problems may be specific to your hardware (from what you tell I can
say that Linux works with 3Com cards and Matrox has nothing to do with it at
this stage).

That's as far as I can help for now...

Are you sure?

From what I understand, this is nothing more than a VFAT based Linux
distribution that can coexist with your Windows installation, and that is
installed within windows, taking dadvantage of the fact that all your
pripherals have already been recognized by Windows.

Here is a quote from a SlashDot discussion:

(User Info) 

I downloaded it yesterday, and it works well for what it does. 

Unpacks into a UMSDOS directory, c:\linux 

Autodetects all of your hardware based on your _windows_ settings. Really
nice. I'd like to see more of this in the other distros. Save it to a floppy,
and that would solve a lot of questions newbies have (like irq,i/o etc) 

If it's wrong (such as missing my video card), you can override the setting.
It did really well, finding my printer (hp laserjet), joystick but not sound
card (no sound setting?), mouse, modem, timezone. 

It asks for a user and password, and even gives you the option to make root
the same password. 

Gives you a menu option (aka icon) to reboot system into Linux. 

I've tried a few of these UMSDOS ones. Armed Linux didn't work with this
system, but WinLinux2000 did work. I ended up with a nice (if slow due to
UMSDOS) Linux system. Won't replace any of my real linux boxen, but for
newbies wanting to try Linux, this is a new option. 

Another option is DemoLinux, an entirely CD based Linux. I've had good luck
with that one too.

Wow...  Amazing...  I must admit that you're right!

I don't know if they did it intentionally, but their press release
gives you a feeling that their product is a Linux *UNDER* Windows,
for SIMULTANEOUS use. I hope they didn't do that to attract naive
people (like me) to their web site (which is always down...).

P.S. I posted my message about 10 hours before Slashdot published
it, and since the web site was down, I couldn't learn about this
product from anywhere except for the confusing press release.

By the way: What do you think about the rumor I wrote about
Microsoft?  Does anybody know more?

Hi,
Perform fault isolation as follows: Remove all cards except the video.
Switch to a faster RAM, use a single SIMM 16 or 32 Mb RAM that you know
works in a linux machine. Then try to boot. If you can boot, switch back
to your 256MB RAM and try to boot again, if it works, put in the cards
one-by-one and reboot after each card until you find the problem. Try
switching the positions of the cards. IMHO the most likely sources of the
problem are:

1. RAM speed too slow or defective RAM. Remember that just because a
particular hardware setup works with NT doesn't mean it will work with a
real OS.

2. Card not seated properly due to defective slot or mechanical
incompatibility (contacts are shorting out)

3. Defective card
