Kernel panic. No init found
Hi debs! I have installed Debian Potato 2.2.19pre9 on my laptop. Everything was well, but I had no APM support. I have tried to recompile the Kernel with make menuconfig make-kpkg kernel_image dpkg -i ../.deb But wenn I have rebooted I have got a message "Kernel panic no init found. You can give at boot the option init= ..." The worst is that I get this message for my old (and correct) Kernel, wenn I boot with on the vmlinuz.old Yes, I have read in the Archives of this List that the solution is to add apm=on on the boot line or add the line append "apm=on" in lilo.conf. It's a pity to read this too late... Can somebody help me and give me the data to put after "init=" ? Why can I not boot from my old kernel?

Re: hardware profiles?
For the different Hardware on different place, there is a solution with the Scheme's of pcmcia-cs. It's easy with Lilo to boot with "home" or "work". And you put into /etc/pcmcia/networks.opt the options for the different places. I didn't try, but I will need it and I've read the scripts and the doc in man pcmcia and it seems to be OK.

ppp- and dns-problem
Hi, I have a problem for the configuration of ppp (pppd) with a combi-card modem+ethernet. I use either ethenet or a ppp-connection with an ISP. I have tried wvdialconfig for the configuration and i could not resolve the domaines names. I have also tried pppconfig (where it is possible to specify a static-dns-server. But it doesn't work. With netstat -rn I get no default line. I have tried to set up directly a route with route add default gw 62.104.196.134 and I get the following error SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable The problem is maybe that Linux is trying to use eth0 for finding the dns-serveer but the pcmcia card isn't connected to any network. Can somebody help me? Thanks Vincent Laisney -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Thank you for your very informative answer.
I couldn't use the dns (and therefore I couldn't do anything in Internet)
because the routing table were false.
When the ethenet is not running the ppp works now fine for me (I have posted
the result of netstat -rn in a preceding message).
I have now now two scheme for pcmcia as following (in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts)
case "$ADDRESS" in
work,*,*,*)
# Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport'
IF_PORT="auto"
# Use /sbin/pump for BOOTP/DHCP? [y/n]
PUMP="n"
# Host's IP address, netmask, network address, broadcast address
IPADDR="192.168.1.200"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
DNS_1="213.36.80.1"
;;
home,*,*,*|default,*,*,*)
#empty definitions
IF_PORT="auto"
PUMP="n"
IPADDR=""
NETMASK=""
NETWORK=""
BROADCAST=""
GATEWAY=""
DNS_1=""
;;
esac
and with the "scheme home", ethernet doesn't run and so I can run ppp without
to have to shutdown eth0 with
ifconfig eth0 down

I understand now. My problem is that with the combi card I had the ethenet configured even if there was no cabling in ethenet port and therefore no gateway. Now with the scheme everything is working fine. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your very informative answer.
I couldn't use the dns (and therefore I couldn't do anything in Internet)
because the routing table were false.
When the ethenet is not running the ppp works now fine for me (I have posted
the result of netstat -rn in a preceding message).
I have now now two scheme for pcmcia as following (in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts)
case "$ADDRESS" in
work,*,*,*)
# Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport'
IF_PORT="auto"
# Use /sbin/pump for BOOTP/DHCP? [y/n]
PUMP="n"
# Host's IP address, netmask, network address, broadcast address
IPADDR="192.168.1.200"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
DNS_1="213.36.80.1"
;;
home,*,*,*|default,*,*,*)
#empty definitions
IF_PORT="auto"
PUMP="n"
IPADDR=""
NETMASK=""
NETWORK=""
BROADCAST=""
GATEWAY=""
DNS_1=""
;;
esac
and with the "scheme home", ethernet doesn't run and so I can run ppp without
to have to shutdown eth0 with
ifconfig eth0 down

I understand now. My problem is that with the combi card I had the ethenet configured even if there was no cabling in ethenet port and therefore no gateway. Now with the scheme everything is working fine. Thanks for your help.
