Bad EIP value error during install

During the installation of gentoo i had this error when trying to copy resolv.conf to /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf:

unable to handle kernel NULL pointer reference at virtual address 00000000
printing eip
*pde = 00000000
Oops = 0000

(and so on)

Code: Bad EIP value

I thought it could be a DMA problem so i selected the boot option "ide=nodma" but nothing had changed.
So i tryied with the noapm option, since i read that apm causes problems to amd processors and nothing had changed anyway... the problem sometimes shows when i give other commands than cp resolv.conf, so i don't think it is a file-corruption problem.
Any help?

Thanks

Maybe there is no such file to copy.
If so, just create it...

doclecter,

It looks like you have some kind of hardware issue, you might want to try and run the memtest.

I would just reboot the computer and resume where I left it... looks like overheating.
