Is this a new installation ? It seems that your installation has not completed satisfactorily or is incomplete. init is the mother of all processes, and you can proceed no further. It seems that your /etc/inittab is either missing or corrupt. If yours is a new installation, please re-install with defaults. If you have valuable data in it, boot through a stand-alone linux distro, mount your root partition and write a fresh inittab. I am not very sure about the MDK set up myself ... some MDK type on our list could help here.

I have it working for nearly an year now. I was trying to load the java drivers for mysql given with the pcquest magazine when something went wrong[I was working as root to load it] and I am unable to init mandrake. I am unable to re-install using the cd since it gives some error in partition table and hangs. I am unable to install any other linux distro too because of this. I am only able to get in linux single mode or rescue mode. -- rgds, kalyana sundaram ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
