Zipslack Kernel Panic

DMeXS · 08-26-2002, 01:18 PM

I don't know what's going on but I installed Zipslack so i could run a small webserver with Apache and I set up the linux.bat like this and this is what I get when I boot:

Code:

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Please help me I think it's just a variable that I have to set but I dunno how.

If you posted the linux.bat file, I am unable to view it for some reason. Just the kernel panic info. But I would suspect that the batch file is where the problem is actually at. Make sure the proper line is unremarked for your config. And the other loadlin commands are remarked out. I would first suspect it is not finding the root file system to locate the init system.

If the linux.bat file is correct, then I would suspect secondly a corrupted zip file or the zip file unziped in the wrong location. It has been awhile since I installed ZipSlack, but I think it has be unzipped in the root directory of the partition used. It should contain a directory named \linux.

Hope that it helps.
