To: Linux Kernel Mailing List MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I am currently trying to compile and install a new kernel (2.4.10) into my Mandrake system. I decided to use the 'make oldconfig' option in an effort to keep the current settings. I created the 'bzdisk' so I can test the system prior to compiling a 'bzImage' After making the modules then modules_install, I conducted a reboot and ran off the boot floppy. I got the following error: "nic: Attempting to kill the idle task! In idle task - not stncing <1> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000" Then I get a screen full of numbers and end up with: "nic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler - not syncing" What have I done/not done to have this problem ? Pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
