My 71pro system locked yesterday and a cold reboot was implemented. When the reboot started it goes to a certain point and then does a kernel panic with a message like: kernel panic: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel. Anyone know what could be wrong? I've tried fsck'ing the partitions and they come up clean.

I'm not completely sure, but try init=S (for single user), and make sure /etc/inittab is there. I believe that is the file that tells the system what leel to start in. If it got hosed, reinstall aaa_base. rpm -qf /etc/inittab aaa_base-2001.10.19-1 HTH. Sounds kinda serious. BTW, what file system are you using? -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
