Linux can't boot after installation
Hi guys, i'm kinda new to Linux and because i moved i had to reinstall it on a different computer.
however, this didnt work right. i have 2 hard drives and run windows on the 1st one, hda0, and installed linux on the second one, hda1, on which it is the second, third and fourth partition.
now whenever i choose to start linux in the bootmanager an error comes up:
Booting 'RedHat Linux (2.4.20-6)'
root (hd1,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Kernel (vmlinuz-2.4.20-6 ro root=dev/hdb3 hdc = ide-scsi)
and using a boot disc doesn't work either. in fact, after the installation i wasn't able to make one for some reason... it shows something like:
Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init = option to kernel.
during the installation it says that something with my architecture has something to do with the boot and that creating a boot disc is strongly recommended.
can anyone help me out?
i have the linux version from the "Linux for dummies" book.
