A Weird Problem

[jose sanchez]

Hi all:

I am currently running RH 6.2 on an old 100Mhz box.
I've had come accross some weird problems. The box
tends to lock up once in a while. I thought it was ok
(I'm so use to this with my Win machine). Now it has
started to worry me. I am running a DHCP server for
our network at work, due to this problem our network
has become affected. 

I never turn this machine off. Sometimes I've come to
work and no one can get on the network. I check this
machine and there is so much stuff on the screen: A
lot of Hex addresses... The last three lines, which
are the only readable ones, read as follow:

Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill idle task!
In Swapper task - not syncing

I don't know what all this means. I'm suspecting
something's wrong in the kernel trying to wakeup some
IRQs. Linux hasn't been that reliable to me. I don't
know if I'm configuring things wrong or what. Just
know, this is way above my head.

Please help. Thanks. 

Kernel version: 2.2.14-5.0
