After left my RedHat Box and apache server running for a weekend, I shutdown X server and left it running only in shell mode. I had a firewall running only in X environment. The problem was that somebody tried to hack my box. Then after a reboot, a have a message from the init, like DriveSeekError. Tried to boot under single linux to run e2fsck, but now i have a Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
so you took the firewall down when you quit X?? odd thing to do.

sounds to me like the harddisk is dying. if your sure youve been hacked then ask for this thread to be moved to linux-security, but i would say its more likely that you have a failing harddisk, run badblocks on it and see what you get.
Hum... I instaled RedHat over FTP! I'm using grub instead of lilo, maybe i can use that param in grub. I will try and tell you something right way. 10x all.
