Hello!
I just received my computer from ASA and I am trying to install RHL 6.2 on it.
I went through the install without a hitch, no problems reported whatsoever.
However, when I reboot the system, I get an error at the point of turning off
the CPUID feature, I get:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel Panic: Attempted to kil the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then the system seizes up.
This happens with both the HDD boot and booting from the boot floppy that I
made, but if I boot from the 6.2 CD-ROM or the floppy made from the 6.2 image
boot-20000407.imb, the system comes up just fine.
I can boot into rescue mode and mount all the filesystems just fine.
This is an ASUS A7V motherboard with an Athlon 900MHz processor, 256Mb RAM,
and Seagate 30Gb HDD. The only unusual circumstances I can think of are that
I have 2 swap partitions of 128Mb each on the disk, and there are 9 partitions
(4 primary and 5 extended within primary partition #4).
The system came with RHL 7.0 installed as a test and that booted just fine. I
wanted to change the partitioning scheme and I don't have my RHL 7.0 yet (and
I'm not sure I want to install that -- I'd like to wait for 7.1...) so I'm
working with RHL 6.2.
Anyone have any idea where I should go from here?
Thanks for your help!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
