Hi.
I have one problem with Linux: I installed Linux Mandrake 6.1 in the PC of a friend: Pentium III 500 MHz, with 128 MB of RAM and 2 GB for a ext2 partition. It was running well, but one day he "crashed" the BIOS (don't ask me how he did it), and the technical service repaired the computer (they changed the mother board). Then, my friend started the PC and it showed:
Linux version 2.2.13-7 mdk (root@kenibi.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 2.95.1 199990816(release)) #1 Wed 15 18:02:18 CEST 1999 Detected 501144741 Hz processor. Console: colour VGA+80x25 Calibrating delay loop...499.71 BogoMIPS Memory: 128016k/131072k available (1044 Kernel code, 416k reserved, 1536k dat, 60k init) General protection fault: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<80123053>] EFLAGS: 00010286 eax: 0000009f ebx: 87fff0d8 ecx: 80209e00 edx 80209e00 esi: 00000028 edi: ffffffff ebp:87ffffe0 esp: 8021fec8 de: 0018 es:0018 ss: 0018 Stack: 00000000 00000286 80397ff8 00000001 800b92c0 80209e08 00000212 00000001 00000020 00000000 80397ff8 800b92c0 0000000a 801231f0 80209e00 00000015 00000019 00000286 00000000 00000000 000007de 8021ff6c 802079d8 Call Trace: [<801231f0>] [<801227d5>] [<80115865>] [<801dad00>] [<801dc65e>] [<80106000>] [<8010600o>] [<80106000>] [<80100176>] Code: 89 07 8b 83 ee 01 73 c4 c7 00 00 00 00 fa c7 44 08 2b Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task In swapper task- not syncing
After this, the kernel hangs and he has to reboot the PC.
Linux runs with Lilo, and lilo.conf is like this:
boot=/dev/hda3 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda3 read-only append="mem=128M" other=/dev/hda1 label=win table=/dev/hda
Do you know what happens with it? I feel a bit responsible for it, because I installed Linux in his PC and now he can't run it.
I hope you may help us. Thank you in advance. | |
