Hi people, when I try to do a very simple task switch in bochs, it gives an error like:

...

Any ideas? Thanx...

It's hard to tell without seeing your exact code but

00000713774p[CPU ] >>PANIC<< can_push(): SS invalidated.

suggests that you aren't updating the stack registers after a switch. Each task needs it's own stack and you must restore ALL registers to the state they were in when you left the task.
