Boot into single user mode; then execute "init 2" to see if the same thing happens (it should).
I'm trying to get rid of windows on my laptop, but it's turning out to be more difficult than anticipated. I installed Debian Linux 3.0r1 and during the first boot, I got the error contained at the bottom of this message. It will boot up fine in single user mode, but not otherwise. I have tried installing it multiple times with multiple burns. I did a md5sum check on the CD's that I used and they were fine. Any suggestions?
Error that I recieved (first, it started off with a lot of jibberish):
Code: 8b 4a 04 85 c9 74 22 8b 5a 18 8b 02 89 01 8b 0a 85 c9 74 08
Aiee, Killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: attempted to kill the idle task!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
Then boot into single user mode, and go into the /etc/rc2.d directory (or whatever /etc/inittab has the initdefault level set to), and run the "S" scripts in alphanumeric order. When you get the jibberish, you'll know which script is causing the problem.
