Well, obviously your kernel cannot find init. On my box it is in /sbin/init, and is likely the same for yours. What is happening is that your kernel is looking somewhere for init and not finding it, either as a result of an improperly mounted filesystem or lack of its existence. See what init other kernels find and try passing the path to one on a properly mounted root file system by passing a correct "root=" option (like "root=/dev/hda1") and init option (like "init=/sbin/init") and see where that might get you. I seem to remember that one could define where init is in the kernel configuration, or just pass it at boot time. --Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
