Install on Toshiba Satellite 5005

["Steven L. Sesar" <ssesar@rcn.com>]

Trying to install Potato from CD on the machine noted in the Subject header. 
The base install goes fine until we reboot from the hard drive. We get a 
kernel panic:

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In interrupt handler - not syncing

Has anyone run into this?
