I have a stock B&W 350mhz G3 with 400 something megs of ram. I am trying to install mandrake 9.1 ppc onto an 80 gig deskstar drive.
I managed to install OS9 on one partition and left a big space for Mandrake to use. After OS9 was installed and I saw that it was working, I plopped in the 9.1 CD and re-booted with the "C" key held down. The install went without a hitch, I picked "L" for Linux at the yboot prompt but then a few seconds later things round to a halt. This is what it says. . . creating root device Mounting root filesystem without flags noatime ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide hda: driver not present mount: error 6 mounting ext 3 flags noatime well, retrying without the option flags ide-floppy driver 099.newide hda: driver not present <snip> Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init = option to kernel. I dug through the archives and saw that someone had a similar problem but solved it with something in his /BootX. I thought BootX was for "OldWorld" machines and I didn't have to worry about that. Could someone please help me get this worked out? Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------- William Eggington -- http://www.eggington.net ---------------------------------------------
