Kernel Panic, Please Help

sarmadys · 10-22-2002, 03:09 AM

Hello

Someone please help. This server does not come up with below error messages. How can I repair it ? (It is a 7.2 with GRUB).

Last boot messaage lines:
----
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 216K freed
Kernel Panic: No init Found. Try passing init=option to kernel
----

Load scripts in GRUB:
----
Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda1
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
----

Now how can I run it using init options? Can someone please help?

Ok, it seems no one bothered himself to answer.

Anyway I finally started it by removing below line from GRUB initialization script.

initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img

It seems there was a problem with initrd file.

are you sure your Linux partition still on the 1st partition of the Primary Master hd? if not or if you want to check it out, boot with your installation CD (enter linux root=/dev/hdXX ro at the first "boot:" prompt... noice that XX should be the letter of your hd and number of the partition where linux is).
then edit /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab
