Kernel panic - not syscing: attempted to kill init!
what is the problem?
plz i need urgent help.
Thanks
Urgent is a personal vision to the case, for others urgent might not be the case.
Besides, use complete subjects, instead of one word. (summarize what the post is about, so people here can easily find it back or know if they can help on forehand, knowlegde about the subject.)
Yawn... Did anyone say the magic word 'urgent'? I can't see anything urgent here. Oh wait - Attempted murder - kernel is panicking!!!
On a serious note, perhaps Jeremy/the mods could introduce some restrictions on creating titles so that if someone uses the word 'urgent' in the title, it will not let them submit the post (displaying some sort of error/warning).
As was said--this subject line will be ignored by almost everyone, especially on a forum as busy as this one.
What distribution? If it's Fedora, then it might be a known bug--you have to get into grub, which Fedora brilliantly made difficult by setting time out to 0 and add a line.
You need to be a little more informative about your problem. Which distribution and version? Kernel you are attempting to use. System information and hardware specifications for the problem.
Let's see---6:55AM in California: Just waking up, perhaps with some degree of hangover.
New York--9:55: Hangover under control--on the way to church
England--2:55PM: In the park with the kids, on the golf course, at the beach----whereever---but surely not sitting at a computer.
France--3:55PM: Similar
Further east, we start having some language issues: In eastern Europe and Asia, the word "urgent" could have a very different meaning.
Seriously, boyshey: We do want to help you, but you will at least have to tell us what distribution (version) of Linux you installed, any problems or error message during installation----and any other details that you can.
thanks for the spanking on the URGENT issue guys. i now know better than b4 and thank u guys for the correction.
For the distro i'm using, its rhel4.0 and the kernel version is 2.6.9-22.ELsmp on an i686 and the hard disk is a scsi.
Thanks.
Distribution: Slackware (personalized Window Maker), Mint (customized MATE)

Dear Sirs,
I protest against the discrimination of the word ``urgent''.

Yours faithfully,
Hurry Urgent
Protest all you want. The use is not going to get you much response within your query title. You will usually get a quick response about the use of the word and not the request for aid reply.
According to the OP, this looks like a new installation, so I'd recommend using a the latest RHEL (5.3) or Centos equivalent if you want free.
Did you possibly ask for the boot disk/partition to be part of the lvm at install time?
That's not going to work.
Incidentally, if you want to check out the system, you can use the
linux rescue
option from the installation DVD. Just type that in at the cmd line prompt.
