Interrupt ptr 12h?

[Axel Schmalowsky]

Hello list,

sometimes my system freezes, and I cannot figure out why.

What I do know is that everytime I try to build openoffice, it freezes
during the build process.
Last time my system froze, the kernel "spat out" the following message:
"kerneltrap with interrupt ptr 12h disabled".

What does this mean, exactly?

please help.
