Hi folks: I have installed win95/dos along with Linux-Mandrake 6.1 on my computer. I was able to run linux fine until I did this; Using cat /proc/meminfo, it showed me the swap space as 0 and used 0. Thus I edited the file /etc/lilo.conf and added the line append="mem=80M" before the first image statement. Then I saved the file and ran lilo. Then instead of using shutdown command I went for the soft boot accidently (ctl + alt + del). When I booted the computer again, lilo started loading linux and gave me the following errors; Kernal Panic: Attempted to kill the idle task In swapper talk- not syncing. Your help will be appreciated. -Vishal. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
