Hello Disaster has struck and I need some help.
I was experimenting with hdparm for the first time and managed to freeze my system - I was in X at the time. I was unable to get back to the console - tried ^alt-backspace, and ^alt-f1... no joy. In the end I had to just switched off the machine. When I tried to power up again I just saw loads of stuff flying past on the screen - I was unable to make out what. I have some parted boot- and rootdisks. I ran fsck -fy /dev/hda. When I reboot now the booting progresses better but then stops with the message: "kernel panic: No init found. try passsing init= option to kernel" I rebooted and tried typing the following at the lilo prompt: "linux init=/bin/bash" and "linux init=/sbin/init" but I had no joy. The boot process ended with the same message as b4. Does anyone have any tips that might help me recover my system. I have been pleased with debian. Reinstalling would be a useful experience but I would like to be able to get things running without reinstalling. t.ukr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
