The Problem:
The systems seems unstable and is crashing all the time. This is the error
i am getting.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/chatserver]$ Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer

Kernel panic: Attemted to kill the idle task!
In idle task - not synching
I am not sure why this is happening. I thought the EATA drivers for DPT
cards were stable.
Anyone have this issue ..? or Ideas suggestions ...all will be appreciated.
