Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel panic: Attempting to kill the idle task In swapper task - not syncing We were able to get the system to boot using other kernels from the test directory on SGI's FTP site. However, when the installation begins, we were unable to find the correct SCSI controller in the list, and thus Hard Hat was unable to find a hard drive to install to. How can we get the original kernel to boot/how can we get newer kernels to recognize the hard drive so we can install Linux? Thanks. -- Steven Engelhardt http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/sengelha
