Hi,
I recently(yesterday) installed Gentoo 2007 from a CD I obtained from Mehul
Ved.
Problems that dogged me:
1]The Live CD could not boot the ATi Radeon XPress 200(RC410) integrated
card on my Intel D101GGC motherboard.
2]I ran the text mode(pseudo-GUI?) installer and refused to install the
Gentoo Grub opting instead to add the relevant entries to my Ubuntu
7.04/boot/grub/menu.lst.So,I added the following for Gentoo:
title Gentoo 2007
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda9
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
wherein my Gentoo / is partition number 9(hda9)So everything went fine till
I tried to boot my Gentoo install.Kernel was recognized and starts
booting,but during booting an error message pops up saying
>Booting (initramfs)..switch_root: "Bad
init('/sbin/init)
Kernel panic-not syncing-attempted to kill init!
and the machine hangs there with the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs blinking
furiously.I have to press the Reset button to regain control.I tried a
Google search and all I got was a topic on a development release of a
VM.Cansomeone help me with this error?
Regards,
Easwar
