Hi after compiling the 2.6.3 kernel and rebooting into linux i get a kernel panic no inet found try passing init to kernel or try passing intel=option to kernel Please give steps on how i can resolve this problem thanks much

What bootloader are you using?? What are your entries in your bootloader for your new kernel?

rberry88

lilo boot loader and my enerrys are linux, failsafe, windows, windows2 and, 263 i have tried all of the ones having to do with linux and they simply will not boot into mandrake it starts out by saying unpacking the kernel and then Boob i get the error message

Hello flamableice,

Can you post your lilo.conf as well as the output of 'mount' command ?

Regards,

amit

yeah, I'm having the same problem. After upgrading from kernel 2.4..20 to kernel 2.6.3 the kernel panics at startup with the same message as flamabeice. I using Grub.

There are two things that are, most likely, the problem here.

1. When you compiled your new kernel did you include devfs and /dev/pts support into the kernel and also select the "start at boot time" option. Even though one of them says "deprecated" or "obsolete" it seems many people have the problems you guys are having until they build this support into the kernel.
Also make sure you included the following line into your fstab file which is in /etc/fstab:

2. The other problem would be somewhere in your bootloader syntax. If you post a copy of your bootloader here (Grub or Lilo) so we can look at it maybe we can rule out if that is what is causing your problems.
