Kernel Panic: Could not load init
Hi,
I have a dual boot linux/windowsXP machine. I had Fedora Core 4 running (dual booting with Windows XP (primary OS)), when I opted to transition to Slackware. I downloaded the 10.2 installation set, and proceeded to install the OS. Despite a small problem with GRUB and LILO, that I resolved by installing Lilo on the MBR, the installation seemed to go well.
That said, I'm unable to boot slackware without a "Kernel Panic: Could not find init" error message. I'm at a loss to figure out what's going on, and I'm looking for help. I can boot into my linux parition from the boot CD, but if I try booting into it without the CD, I get that error message.
Please note I don't have a floppy drive.
The specifics of my machine are as follows:
Drive partitioning:
/dev/hda1 - Boot flag - NTFS (Windows XP 'C' drive)
/dev/hda2 - Linux, ext3 - / (Linux root /)
/dev/hdb1 - fat32 - FAT drive
/dev/hdb2 - NTFS
/dev/hdb3 - Boot flag - 83 ext3 - '/home
/dev/hdb4 - 83 ext3 - /usr
Specs:
Dual Xeon Processors
2GB RAM
E7525 Intel Chipset
X6DA8-G2 SuperMicro MB
2x SATA hard-drives
x850 PCI-X ATI vid. card
Creative Audigy 2
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Regards,
Vmt
