I have gone cold turkey and replaced my M$ XP-pro with Mandrake 9.1 last night. The install was successfull; however, when i reboot, i get the following:
VFS: Can't find ext3 FS or ide0 (3.3)... mount error 22 mounts ext3...flags Kernel...Panic No init found try passing init=option to kernel...
(there may be some typos in there...it was quite late when I copied it).
Could this be because i said "Skip" at the Bootloader? What should I do...where should the bootloader go: one of the options was MBR, the other options (can't really remember) had to do with hd's and ext's.
I am currently re-running the installation and would like to know what to do at the bootloader installation section. I have just selected to erase entire disk. I am now on CD2 and anxiously awaiting your advice. It is appreciated and greatly needed.
Thanks.
