Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Came into work this morning to find a new installation on a very old box
had done a kernel oops.
It was a minimal potato installation, with updates from
security.debian.org.
Would I be right in thinking it's probably bad memory?
The line after the kernel panic line is:
In swapper task - not syncing.
The start of the screen is:
Oops: 0002
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c015a8c0>]
EFLAGS: 00010202
eax: 000000b8 ebx: c6a07840 ecx: 00000000 edx: 000000b0
esi: c7c560e4 edi: 000000f3 ebp: 0000001c esp: c02d5d98
ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018
Process swapper (pid: 0, process nr: 0, stackpage=c02d5d98)
Can anyone shed loight on this, or point to a URL that would help me?
thanx,
John P Foster
