Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 Kernel Panic: no init found
Hi
I have this problem https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewto...485933#p485933 on VirtualBox and Hyper-V, any ideas? If you don't know, where is a good support group for older operating systems?

What does Virtualbox use as the controller type for it's virtual hard drives? Is it IDE or SATA? If it's SATA does that old a kernel support SATA yet?

Looks like the PIIX4 was indeed IDE, which was an early-mid 90's technology (and was a mid-90's chipset), so it should I'd think work with that distro. I'd be willing to bet it's something to do with how SOMETHING is virtualized, but no idea what. That was just my "low hanging fruit" guess.

Cool, I'll give that a try.
UPDATE: Nice try but it's too hard to get a working frontend.

I personally use virt-manager as a frontend for qemu.

I have this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855932 and diffrent bugs with other frontends. Lets try and stick with VirtualBox since that kind of works.(as I said on the other forum, I can install but then it does not boot or write Grub anywhere.) |

Well, unfortuanately, the extent that I know of VirtualBox is "it's owned by oracle, run away screaming".
