installing on usb2 external drive, kernel panics
first, i'm a total noob when it comes to linux, so let me know if i'm telling you guys things that don't make any sense and i'll try to do better...
my setup: mandrake 10, which installed fine on an 80GB Maxtor drive in an external usb2 enclosure all on a dell inspiron 1100 with a 20GB internal drive that i'm devoting to windows upgraded bios to allow for booting from external usb devices question(s): here's the problem: mandrake installed fine, or appeared to have done so from all i could tell, but i can't boot. i first tried going through the bootloader, but when i choose linux it gives me a kernel panic: Kernel Panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. any thoughts? |
You may need to create an initrd.img that actually
has usb2 drivers built-in. Cheers, Tink |
heh... when i said noob, i meant it. that may as well be french to me...
