I just compiled a new 2.2.14 kernel after doing a new potato install and got the message:
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Does anyone know what is causing this? The 2.2.14-compact kernel installed from the boot-floppies as part of the installation boots without any problems. /etc/inittab, /etc/rcS.d, etc., all look normal. This is a somewhat minimal system (486DX2/66, 16MB) and I assume I messed something up in my kernel config after comparing it with one which works on my other computer I can't figure out what. I've attached .config in case someone can discover the problem. I also tried installing kernel-image-2.2.14-2 from potato, but it reboots in the middle of loading. -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY (RN2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ DM42nh QRP-L #1985 SOC #77 http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
