[NTLUG:Discuss] Kernel Panic

[Bob Byron]

Well, I got recently installed Redhat Linux 6.1 on a system utilizing
a Cyrix 150 CPU.  I also have to DLink network cards on the system.
After several hours of operation, I receive:

Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing.

Okay, I am a newbie to Linux and don't have a clue as to where to 
start debugging.  Now I did go to the /var/log directory, but I didn't 
find any messages that tell me why I received this message.

So, is there a site out there that specializes in helping a newbie
interpret a kernel panic dump screen?  Any other advice is 
welcome.

Thank You,
