Greetings.
I'm not sure which package or pseudo-package this would fall under, so
I'm sending it here per the Debian web site bug submission guidelines.
Basically, during installation of Debian 2.2r3 (Potato), I got the
following kernel panic (what I did is below the panic screen text if you
want to skip down):
-------------------------------------------

Aiee, killing interrupt handler
kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing
-------------------------------------------
(apologies for any errors in the above, I had to handcopy it from the
Linux box to the Windows box via good ol' fashioned eyeballs)
-------------------------------------------
Basically, I'm installing the net driver rtl8139, and configuring it.
The first step is fine. Then I get to the option "Next: Configure the
Network" and it asks for the name, I set it to "vertigo." Then it says,
do you want to use DHCP/etc, and I choose Yes. At this point, the first
time I went through this step, the machine spontaneously rebooted. The
second and third time it paniced, yielding the above result. The fourth
time it worked fine.
This is not a big problem as the fourth attempt worked fine, but
something that someone might be interested in looking into. Thanks
guys.
