Kernel Panic (init) with Slack and Grub
My grub boot looks something like(from the grub prompt):
root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz where hda1 is my /boot partition. So it appears to find the kernel fine, but when it tries to load init, it gets Code:
Warning: unable to open an initial console. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but Slack shouldn't need an init to boot. Could it be I have the wrong kernel? I was forced to install by USB, and so couldn't load a new kernel, and when I got to the "select your kernel" screen, I skipped it, and used the default kernel. (my Thinkpad X30 does not have floppy or CDROM) Anyway, Can anyone tell me how to get by this and get into slack? Cheers(!) Dia |

Also notice that although GRUB begins counting partition and devices with zero, the kernel counts the first partition as hda1. |

In any case, this seems to just be an issue with grub 0.97 on my system. 0.95 works fine. |
