kernel panic: no init found & header file trouble
Hi, I was playing around trying to find header files for kernel version 2.4.18-5 when something went horribly wrong and I get the message "kernel panic: no init found" now when I try to boot up. I have a feeling I screwed something up pretty bad. Is there anyway to fix this?
More importantly (since I was planning on reinstalling for various reasons anyway but still will need this answered):
I have another question about header files. I downloaded and installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 on wednesday and it seems to have come with no header files; at least, when I type "rpm -q kernel-headers" it says they're not installed. I have noticed that there are some kind of glibc kernel header files installed, but I have no idea what those are. My problem was (before I somehow screwed up the whole thing), I was trying to install the latest Nvidia drivers for my Geforce 2 Ultra and when I would try to compile the NVDriver module it was telling me I didn't have kernel header files installed (I think). I read the README that came with the drivers and learned how to point it to where the glibc headers were but then it just kept telling me that they weren't valid header files. Finally I installed some older kernel header files I found for Red Hat 7.2 before finding out it wouldn't work unless the headers were of the same version as the kernel running. I've looked everywhere but I can't find header files for 2.4.18-5. My question is, where can I find these? Or, if they don't exist, what do I do? Are these glibc kernel header file things what I want? Why didn't normal kernel header files come with 7.3 like they did with the other versions of Red Hat? I'm just a dumb newbie so I'm sure there's just something I'm missing here so if someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks.
