OK, I've replaced my hard drive and everything to this point but I'm just stuck. I'm running a pentium 4 with 1024mb ram and currently an 80 gig hard drive. I go through the install of Linux 9 fine, but when it reboots it goes through all the usual stuff OK, but then it says something about killing the interrupt and a kernel panic. (If it involves code, please be very specific, I'm used to GUIs and am teaching myself more about programming but I don't know much yet).

Newbie with problems; Kernel Panic??

That's impossible. Linux is at 2.6.0-test9 , not "version 9".
Perhaps you mean RedHat?
If you could give more information about this, I'm sure we'd be glad to help. Tell us the the system was trying to do before it crashed, what the crash message was, and if you tried to fix it.

Sorry, yes, I do mean Red Hat. Originally I was running WinXP, though that was on the 120 gig drive I had in. The new 80 gig has had nothing installed on it but Red Hat 9.0, which is the only drive I have in right now. Here is the message I get:
Code: 0f 0b e2 03 3f d7 25 c0 e9 77 fd ff ff 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00
<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not synching
I haven't tried to fix it, as I don't know how to begin. I've just installed RedHat on the system, I haven't even gotten into the desktop, it errors while it is booting. I remember when I was installing it said something about inconsistencies in the partition, that I could ignore it and it most likely wouldn't cause a problem, though if it did, it would be minor and would easily be fixed later. If you need me to reinstall that's not a problem if you need the exact message or if my problem is just that simple. Thank you!!

Not seeing everything that you do, it looks like FS coruption.
Now how it could be FS corruption after redhat installed itself correctly is another matter entirely.
I'd go on ahead and re-install, but if this error does come out again, document it fully. Might be suitable of a kernel patch.
