Laptops :: libretto install



I am a linux newbie,someone please help with this install so I can teach myself linux and not have to ask stupid questions! I have installed fedora onto my desktop (no probs,loads of info) I wanted to carry a linux machine everywhere and my    
reduntant (cos win95 is awful) libretto seemed the best bet. so naively i have for my second ever install gone for dsl on the libretto 50 ct. I have got dsl installed on the hd, I went for the inelegant but simple solution of fitting the hd into my desktop. the problemm occurs when I try to run it up back in the libretto. all seems to go well until it gives me the kernal panic message and a hex code, as follows:

code: 39 46 04 74 0e 31 c9 ba 03 00 00 00 89 f0 e8 6c aa fe ff 5b
        <0>kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
I havent a clue, i,m searching all over for error cdes but havent found any yet. thanks in advance to anyone with some good gen!
When you said "all seem to go well", what exactly were you doing?  What you just saw is a core dump, and it can be caused by a lot of things.
Try searching google for:

libretto linux

or

libretto knoppix

for help.

Also, there are a couple of guys here that use DSL on a libretto. They drop in every now and then.  So help may arrive at some point.
Also take a look at http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/
when I say all was was going well, I put the HD back in the laptop and booted, LILO started ok and it gets as far as the color messages but once past this the messages scroll V fast and the screen reads:

Code: 39 43 04 74 11 b9 01 00 00 00 ba 03 00 00 00 89 d8 e8 c9 ab

and finally the code I i've put in my first post.

I wouldn't usually ask for a helping hand but I am totally new to linux at command line level and although I am learning a bit on my desk top I really need to be able to have linux in my pocket to be able to spend some serious time on it. Thanks for all the suggestions so far. SPC
