Please press the 'scroll lock' key to scroll upwards and report the real
error message. Before you post it, take a few minutes to check the
handbook section on kernel debugging and try giving us enough
information to actually help you.
You wouldn't ring your doctor up and say "Hey doc, I hurt" and expect him
to tell you what's wrong. Why do you subject us to a comparable form of
abuse?

to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
