I just installed fedora. I was forced to do a hard reboot since for some reason the computer hung up (might have a memory problem). I received the following message: kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel How do I pass the "init="? I did try editing the command line when grub started by adding "init=1" but it did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks for you help.
