unable to boot slackware 13.1
 

Hello Everyone,

I am a slackware 13.1 user , and for the first time today I tried to use slackpkg to update my chromium ( I did everything by hand before ), but unfortunately it did something .... while it was prompting everything it was doing , I saw it removing all my main utilities such as exec, grep, sh ....
After the operation completed , I was unable to run anything , everything I clicked on generated the message ( I dont actually remember clearly ) KDE/init/ ' unable to open terminal '

Now that I rebooted my system , I get the following error :

++ Kernel Panic - Not syncing : no init found , Try passing init = option to kernel.

Ive looked up some forums and the ways they suggest does not work . Could I please get some info on this.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried to boot it with the installion DVD...boot the DVD and just type at the prompt...

insert your partition number in place of * I really dont know if it will boot though... worth a try ? this just a guess

Thx a lot for the reply , I tried it but it still gets stuck on the same error, why does it need me to specify the init option I had that in my inittab file

Where did you get chromium from, and how did you install it? Slackpkg is usually used to update software that comes by default, not packages from elsewhere.
