I am getting a familiar message when booting my FC2 system but for the life of me I can't remember what to do to fix it. It is the well known: kernel panic : no init found Try passing init= option to kernel. Well the initrd file is there. /initrd exists. Could someone job my memory? Getting old is hell. What might the init= option look like? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
