Hello everyone,

I have been running RedHat 7.1 on my home computer for about 6mos now. The machine is used as a gateway to the internet running adsl, ipmasq, and firewall. NIC cards are a pci kingston and an ISA netgear. AMD 500Mhz processor, 128 mb RAM, and a kinda crappy motherboard. I was working on some shell scripting when the following error was given:

$ Oops: 002
CPU: 0
EIP:0100:[<C123e160>]

(Bunch of stuff here I didn't write down....)

Kernel Panic: Aiee, Killing Interrupt Handler
In (or ln not sure) Interrupt Handler- Not Syncing

My computer completely froze at this point. I tried to get it back by rebooting multiple times but it would either go directly to this output or allow me to boot up and then crash when I was in the X environment. I tried booting it up in single user mode and under the safe environment and it still wouldn't work. I'm at a loss here as to why it's crashing soo much. It has worked great for a while but there seems to be some kernel bug going on.

I can supply more info if needed. The problem is it crashes so quick I can't look at any log files

Any help would be much appreciated!

So far I see there's no answer to this problem on this forum so I try to describe what I did. I've came across this problem:

< snip >
Kernel Panic: Aiee, Killing Interrupt Handler
In (or ln not sure) Interrupt Handler- Not Syncing
<End snip>

on a system with the kernel 2.6.16,
and the GOOGLE tels that there were similar errors since 2.4.* branch so the thought was
although Kernel casts this Error but it's not the Kernel's foult..

So 've teken a nerarer look at bios configuration and found that in my AmiBios
Configuration Screen under the ide-settings the S.M.A.R.T option was desabled.

Now I've enabled it and it looks to me that was it,
My system rans now very smoothly.
