Problems with startup error

[Zylstra]

I am getting the error:
<0> Kernal Panic - Not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.
Whenever I begin to load the following Linux operating systems:
Feathers Linux (Live CD), Slax Linux (Live CD), Vector Linux (HD install, Lilo partition on MBR, thanks Rob_Pomeroy, it does work excellent)

Well, anyways, I get this error when booting the OS. It comes before the desktop, and I think its  before everything loads. There is QUITE a lot of information before this error, but it sweeps by so fast!

My computer is a 128MB RAM, 733MHz processor, 7GB HD.

I am planning on switching to Ubuntu, and getting WineHQ so I can run some Windows applications.

Please help, since I cant get it to work, I have stuck myself with DOS and Windows 3.0!

What causes this problem, and how can it be fixed?

My guess would be either a bug in the kernel/a kernel module, or a hardware problem (possibly motherboard).  Try a distribution that comes with a different version of the Linux kernel.  Do you know for a fact that your hardware is supported?

Well, the CD's all work on other computers, just not this one.
One another one of my OS CD's, it also says that its not syncing
