Hi.
My laptop hanged, and I shut it down. Afterwards it cannot boot. After loading linux, it stops saying roughly Partition check hda: hda1 .... apm: Bios version ... VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesyustem) readonly. Freeing unused memory ... Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I have tried passing the option init=/sbin/init, and also init=/bin/sh. It did not work. So I downloaded a rescue image, and with that I was able to boot with a root on the floppy. I have checked the root partition on the hard disk: /sbin/init is there and is ok (I have replaced it with a copy from another system), and also inittab looks ok. But the original root partition still does not work and gives the same message. The last time this happened to me (alas is not the first one!) I reinstalled everything. I hope somebody can advise some softer way to proceed. Thank you very much Alessandro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
