"Bad EIP value"- followed by a stack and call trace- and then at the end:
Kernel Panic: Fatal Exception
In idle tast - not syncing /dev/hda (* infinity\n)
I've done memtest86 on the RAM and it appears to fine. I've also tried installing with pnp both enabled and disabled. Its hooked up to a great power source too. The machine is a 750mhz AMD Duron k7 with 384mb RAM. I ran slackware on it for a year before deciding to try something new.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
-thanks in advance for any help

hey Have u solved yr problem with fatal exception and EIP value ?
I hv similar problem with my FC3 (2.6.9 xx) My problem always stopped at
'initialising network " area. I suspect its my onbod RTL8139too dev.
Sometimes I managed to boot successfully- only 10% of time, other time I keep on
rebooting and rebooting till my hairs drop off!.My linux box is P4-1.5G.
I changed my MB from P3 to P4 recently. It was working ok in my P3 MB before.
any feedbak from U will be apreciated.
