Description Antonio Pagliaro 2001-05-31 13:05:36 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)

Description of problem:
I had a few windows open (netscape hung on www.aruba.it,
plus konqueror, 2 or 3 konsole and kppp on) when I got
suddenly the X server down, a black screen and:

Kernel Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing

I waited for a few minutes, I tried to telnet from my
other machine (no route to host) then I pressed reset.
At boot, after check of / (passed with some inode fixed),
during check of /home I get the login screen (console
login) with the message:

INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.

I waited, and after 5 minutes this same message appeared
again. So I had to reset again.
Reboot, this time successfully,
Not the system is up and running

How reproducible:
Didn't try

We'd need the oops output to be able to make any progress.
Comment 2 Antonio Pagliaro 2001-05-31 16:10:55 UTC

Closing. This relates to old old kernels and doesn't contain any information
that is still valuable to us.
