My friends laptop that I installed debian on for him started to give a kernel panic this morning with the message, kernel panic, not syncing, attempt to kill the idle task.
I don't have physical access to it at the moment. We tried removing power and battery and pressing the power button to drain capacitors, but it didn't help. Tried booting in safe mode but it didn't help either. He doesn't have another kernel installed at the moment. Would this be a hardware (disk/memory) issue or can something else be put to blame? Could it be that just the kernel binary was corrupted and needs to be replaced? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
